    Here you go FB - Strange wolf-like animal killed in Montana puzzles wildlife officials

    A large wolf-like animal shot and killed in Montana has wildlife officials and social media wondering what it was.

    A rancher shot the gray-haired beast on May 16 when it ventured too close to his livestock in Denton. The rancher reported that he killed a wolf but wolf specialists looked at photos of the animal and doubted it was a purebred wolf, ABCFoxMontana reported.

    "The canine teeth were too shot, the front paws too small and claws on the front paw were too long," Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Bruce Auchly said in a news release Thursday.

    "Nevertheless, social media was quick to pronounce the animal as everything from a wolf to a wolf hybrid to something mythical," he said.

    Looks like a dog...some kind of shepherd mix.

    Interesting looking wolf. I hope they do a follow up when DNA results come in.
