"DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS THANG IS...?? It only has hair on its back (thick coarse hair like fishing line), no front arms..and in one of these pics you can see how big it is with my foot beside it. All i know is I'm glad it was dead when we found it, and this thang is CREEPY!!!"

I was looking at the ears too, but then I thought...just maybe, with skin shrinkage making the ear more defined and the lack of hair to make the ears blend in, the shape of the snout looks slightly skunky to my eye.

What kind of critters are ya'll growing down there in Kentucky Greathouse?
That would make more sense for two reasons.
The broader looking snout and the dark color hair down down the back.
It just looked a bit on the small side for a coyote to me. The coyotes we have up here in Ohio look like dang wolves.
