Is This a Fox-Coyote-Chupacabra?


All one color, fox tail, but stubby snout.

Right after this one there was another but it had black legs so I assume that was a fox.

Sorry I don’t know how to post a video.

Yep, looks like a red fox.

They don't all have black legs.

The head is what I don’t get. It’s almost dog like.

He's got his neck stretched to check something, but it looks like a fox to me.

Looks like a fox head to me. Like black legs, they don't all have long pointy snouts.

Foxes are canines.

Looks kind of like a fossa to me. Except for the tail. That’s definitely fox. Also, you’re not in Madagascar.

Gray fox would be my choice, native throughout Missouri and we are seeing a couple running the tree line behind our house this summer.

The snout is partly obscured, so it probably isn’t snubbed. I’m guessing it is a fox.

I see grey foxes every day here in the Texas Hill Country, and I had a close encounter with a red in Ouray, Co last year.

I’d see coyotes pretty regularly at my old stomping ground, and I saw 7 on the golf course behind my house once.

Here at my new stomping ground, after 7 years of being here, I finally got one on one of my security cameras about a week ago. It was eating the food we threw out for the foxes. Shows poor fox afterwards missing out.

Nothing of value to add except about a year ago, my 5 year old son was calling his sister a Chupacabra. He had her so bothered that I had to tell him to stop. I shouldn't of laughed, but I did.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I got a chuckle out of it, too.

definitely not a coyote. Nor do I think it is a fox. That is all I got.

My vote is Chupacabra. Probably related to the one I found in my crawlspace when I remodeled my bathroom this past winter...
