“Is This Chilling ‘Coyote-Dog’ the Missing Link We Never Knew Existed?”
“To us, the animals looks ‘coyote-esque’ but has some dog-like aspects to its appearance (especially its ears), and possibly some wolf-like characteristics (e.g. robust snout, a bit bigger body than coyotes in our area… but these are attributes from some dogs as well.)”

They later called the creature an “elusive ‘wolf-dog’ — a rare hybrid of all 3 canids!?!?” before labeling it as a joke.
In a different post, the organization showed a video of an average coyote and wolf roaming the area, saying the clip was the typical appearance of what the creatures would look like — none of which fit the description of the mysterious canine.
Theories on what the animal could be trickled in following the organization’s invitation to throw in more guesses

One person suggested it was the offspring of two animals.
“I’m not sure how a wild Dingo would get to Minnesota from Australia but it almost looks like a Dingo mated with a Wolf and this was the hybrid of that,” read the comment. “The face and ears are almost identical on a wolf body. Thoughts?”
Another theorized, “The ears were probably either chewed by a sibling when it was younger or damaged by frost bite. Both happen quite often to canids.”
“I think it is a odd colored wolf with leucistic condition basically a wolf losing fur color and slowly turning white not to be mistaken for albinosm,” said a third.
There are still millions of species humans have yet to discover

We know social media loves a good mysterious canine story…so check out this animal we got on camera last winter.
