Well, eventually mange can take away all the hair. I've seen simialar pictures in the past and they all ended up being coyotes with severe cases of mange.
Plus, I've killed a good many coyotes with some serious mange in the last couple of years at my place.
The head/face on that thing does look strange though.

TPWD biologists say it is a hairless raccoon. Not a mangy coon, but one born without hair. Apparently they are rare, but there have been several caught recently including one trapped alive in either Kentucky or Tennessee.

No matter what it technically is, if it used to suck goats when it was alive, then it is a chupacabra.

Fellas, after seeing with my own eyes animals like the legendary "black panther" and the "jaguarundi". I have no faith in authorities and now believe there could be both chupacabara and sasquatch out there. By the way, the jaguarundis were in Medina and Bexar Counties and TPWL say's "no way". The reality is those researchers don't spend that much time in the brush. They spend it raising funds. Idiots they are. http://endangeredmammals.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/jaguarundi2.jpg

Amazing how much a hairless coon resembles a hairless dog when looking at the pics of the face. Ugly as sin.......

That just shows how much you know about the field staff with TPWD, not enough to fill a thimble!

If you look close it is a dog fellas. It looks like a pit bull with a severe case of mange. The swelling of the tissue, smoothness of the skin, ears like a pit bull, snout and teeth like a pit bull. And not all pits have cropped tails, take for example a true pit bull which is more collectively known as the Staffordshire Terrior... Sorry, but it's no mythical creature, just a dog with mange.
You Only Fail If You Never Try!!!
