I think its awsome they let it go!!!!!

[TWINCANS]

I have a sneaking suspicion these are hybrids made in the underground labs nearby.

[bennycog]

i hope noone else tries to catch it and exploit it now that it made news :(

[Unified Serenity]

Looks like and ugly mutt with mange to me. I didn't see it hop like a kangaroo even though the man said it looks part kangaroo, maybe that's it's head... but I bet it's just a mutt with mange.

Well, you know what they say, "Truth is stranger than fiction". And it's getting mighty strange.

I saw a report that came out on our local Vancouver TV station that heard an animal expert or vet say the animal was a fox that had 'mange'. Mange is a disease where the animal loses all of it's hair or fur.

dogs and fox's both have tails much shorter and thinner than that animal had, its the second dog/kangaroo creature Ive seen...i think its a dingoroo

[Sidney]

Ya, Im going with twincans, hybrid for sure. Ive never seen a 3 foot long tail on a fox. And I hope it runs far, so it wont be exploited. Im betting, if theres one, theres more. I thought he was kinda cute, in a (face only a mom could love) kinda way.

Escaped from a lab. Is my guess.

Wow,,,I was having an Easter Bunny moment,,,I really thought this was a cryptoid or a lab hybrid like the Montaulk Monster thingy that washed up on the beach.
Excellent job stdante, and an over all fun thread starchild111. :)
That mangee bear is soo disturbing looking.
I could totally see some body calling that a werewolf. :)

[giovonni]

Believe it or not there are many government agency lab facilities in that Washington DC area ~ Maryland suburb :flypig:

[Sidney]

Wow, well I do have to say that the foxes we have here in illinois don't have tails that long. I guess there must be several types of fox, Poor things, And, omg, thats a bear????? The poor things.
