    Mysterious wolf-like creature shot in Montana



    Was it a wolf, some type of hybrid, or a creature that hasn't been seen in Montana since the Ice Age?
    On May 16 a lone wolf-like animal was shot and killed on a ranch outside Denton, Mont. With long grayish fur, a large head and an extended snout, the animal shared many of the same characteristics as a wolf; but its ears were too large, it's legs and body too short, its fur uncharacteristic of that common to a wolf.
    So what was it? At this point, no one is 100 percent sure.


    "Several things grabbed my attention when I saw the pictures," said Ty Smucker, wolf management specialist for Montana FWP. "The ears are too big. The legs look a little short. The feet look a little small, and the coat looks weird. There's just something off about it."
    Smucker's own speculation runs toward some type of wolf/dog hybrid. He noted several occasions within the last few years in which canid predators, neither all wolf nor all dog were causing problems with ranchers east of the Continental Divide.
    "We've had a few instances of wolf/dog hybrids out there," Smucker said. "One was out somewhere in eastern central Montana killing sheep like crazy. Finally, we caught it and it turned out to be a hybrid."

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Now, about a month later, the DNA results are in and the mystery has been solved once and for all.
    "The canine creature shot in Montana a month ago that captured the curiosity of the nation is actually a gray wolf," Montana FWP wrote in an announcement on Monday.
    "DNA from the animal... was tested at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service forensic laboratory in Ashland, Ore. The lab compared the animal's DNA with thousands of other DNA samples from wolves, coyotes and dogs," the official state agency said. "The conclusion was clear – this animal is a gray wolf from the northern Rocky Mountains."
    Montana FWP says confusion over the animal's identity may have been caused by its appearance in the photos. It seemed to have short legs and big ears but inspection of the animal at the wildlife lab in Bozeman "revealed a relatively normal looking, dark brown wolf" Montana FWP says

    I question whether they tested the same animal, I don't know why they would pull a switch and don't believe some of the more outlandish theories but it doesn't look like a normal wolf to me.
