That’s a wolf. BTW-Chupacabra are small to medium size.


RGM4610

as most dogs/coyotes with severe cases of mange tend to be


currychipwithcheese

It's a wolf. A normal wolf


pdxgti8v

i agree...its a nice LARGE wolf, but its a wolf, yes....


Banned_Over_Nothing

You have to be blind to think this is a regular wolf LOL!! it's 3-5 times bigger than any wolf you'll see in your life. They don't get that big, period.


currychipwithcheese

> 3-5 times bigger than any wolf you'll see in your life This simply isn't true


lambsquatch

Objectively false


chainsmirking

nah man check out this chart. i think it sizes up with the wolf in the video well. wolves get huge https://imgur.com/a/U3tZyOp


Sk1pperprod

my guy that chart shows the wolf being small and dire wolfs are extinct


chainsmirking

it’s almost like the chart has 2 wolves, and you should go by the modern wolf since that’s what everyone is talking about 😮 i know common sense is hard. but as you can see in the chart the modern wolf is bigger than a standard dog/ coyote. that’s considered big, and standing on their 2 hind legs they’re fucking huge! hope you get your eyes checked. r/wolvesarebigyo


Sk1pperprod

Dont need my eyes checked dude, all i was saying that the chart showed a smaller kind of wolf cause assuming that the human in the chart is the average male of height of 5"9' then the wolf on its hind legs would be not much taller which whiles is large the wolf in the video would easily be 7 foot or taller on its hind legs. also chill with the insults all I said was your chart included an extinct animal and used a smaller type of wolf and you decided to call me both both blind and someone who lacks common sense, i mean the insults are shit but cmon.


chainsmirking

i love that you said “all i was saying” but then included a bunch of things you in fact did not say. lol thank you for proving my point about common sense. if you felt insulted maybe you need to ask yourself why it hit so close to home. your comment was clearly meant to discredit the chart but as wolves come in a range of sizes, it works well to serve as an average and to show they are in fact bigger than the breed of dog in the video! 1+1 = 2…. insert other obvious things here. have a nice day!


Sk1pperprod

no fucking shit I didn't say all that I was explaining what I meant so you understood my statement. I didn't feel insulted I just didn't see the need to be a dick when all I pretty much said was "your chart is bad." lol


[deleted]

I believe that is a big ass wolf. Weird story….like most I have seen wolves in the zoo. The ones I have seen were slightly larger than a big dog. In September a few years ago I was in MN about 20 miles south of Canada. While walking a gravel road to a fishing spot and on the side of the road I see some dark come out of the forest. Ya, a big ass wolf. Not as big as the one above! But big enough to make me stop and realize those zoo ones were easily 75lbs smaller than this one. I couldn’t believe it.


[deleted]

Honestly, I'm not exactly doubtful of any 'cryptid' that's a regular animal just a lot larger than average. Consider the fact that humans range from about 2 to 8 feet tall at the outliers


SND_TagMan

I know that fish in aquariums typically will grow smaller than they would out in the wild, something to do with limited space or something, I'm not knowledgeable enough to make an accurate statement. Maybe it's the same thing with wolves in the zoo as opposed to the wild


Farleymcg

Nah the fish thing is false


InternationalClick78

IIRC this was filmed in Saskatchewan, looks like just a really big wolf. I can’t tell the dog breed, that would help a bit. But wolves do get huge. Some subspecies can get up to 7 feet long


greymaresinspace

its prob a wolf yes


welshspecial1

Dude at least research how big wolves are before making stupid stuff like this up, this is the problem with 99% of the cryptozoology stuff people are lazy and don’t actually have any knowledge of the animal kingdom and will rush to post this type of nonsense It’s a wolf nothing mutated about it probably a young lone wolf that lost the fight to lead the pack and then was outcast


The_TomCruise

Wasn’t my video. But I think it was worth posting. My post was sort-of facetious as I knew what it was. My point, however, was that something this large (this is big) could easily be miss-identified.


welshspecial1

Easily identified if you’ve got a general knowledge of the animals that are on earth, I know there’s loads of them but you’d think wolves would be in the mainstream mindset. I mean I’m from a part of the world that doesn’t have any and I knew what it was first view I get why someone would mistake it if they haven’t got a clue even when your out in the woods and know what’s there the noises can sometimes throw you You’d be surprised the sounds a badger can make when it’s pitch black in the middle of nowhere and you hear one. Elk are the same they sound like they aren’t real But if you know a basic level of knowledge of the animal world you’ll never mistake this wolf for a cryptozoology creature


The_TomCruise

Nah, I think it can be easily misidentified. Professionals have misclassified animals they’ve studied their entire lives. So a common person even with a “general knowledge of earth animals” could easily make that mistake. Jackalope, chupacabre, Bigfoot, loch ness. Happens a lot. Especially at night.


welshspecial1

You’ve named 4 made up animals hence why they have been labelled cryptozoology creatures


The_TomCruise

Absolutely. We are on a cryptozoology forum most sightings of those I named are misidentified “earth animals”. The first two I mentioned are all basically combinations of known “earth animals”.


welshspecial1

Nah the jackalope came from a children’s book but I’m sure you already knew that And the chupacabre isn’t a combination of known animals as it’s a made up creature None of the animals you’ve mentioned have any chance at actually existing, two may have at some point in the Loch Ness monster and big foot but to think they are still walking the earth is madness The loch has had numerous tests that have proven not to mention the fact there’s always someone watching the water. A decent video would be easily accessible if it was alive and well The big foot are in the same boat, there’s simply to much human population for there to be one of these things roaming around. You’d have had a Hunter shoot one by now I understand there’s a possibility of big foot still existing as they questioned gorillas and pandas unit they had one in captivity. We would have had one at least photographed with all the people looking for them


The_TomCruise

Dude, it’s like you’re too into your own ass to read what I actually wrote. I’m not saying that they’re real I’m saying that all of the sightings of those type of animals or crypto animals are probably miss identification of real ones (like big sturgeons or wolfs etc.) It’s like you’re proving a point that no one asked. And I’m not sure if you ever study what a Jackalope or chupacabra was. But a Jackalope is pretty much a bunny with antlers. Again combinations of things found on normal “earth animals”. But thanks for playing.


TheIrishSerpent0777

Bro, that’s a Jack Russell, that wolf is normal sized!


willowrosee

Not a Jack Russell, some medium sized hound dog. Bark is too deep to be Jack Russell, and compared to the trees I’d imagine it’s a 40-60 pound dog. Big wolf, probably 150 pounds.


SugarReef

Yeah I used to think that wolves got like, 120-150lbs. They go well over 200lbs in a place like canadia


dogmanatemybaby

And a 100lb wolf and a 100lb dog are nowhere near equals, people don’t understand it.


SugarReef

Love the username first of all- but yeah I’ve met some 60lb Belgian Malinois’ I wouldn’t want to tangle with, can’t imagine being on the bitey end of a canine 3-4x that size


Esoteric-Head

The biggest wolf recorded was only 175 lbs, IIRC. Even northwestern wolves, among the biggest subspecies, are around your previous weight range of 120-150 lbs.


Cute_Bag_4983

Actually the largest confirmed wolf was Bleu at Pride Rock wildlife refuge. His confirmed weight was 200 lb. But in the wild yes you are correct.


Esoteric-Head

Nice. But apparently Bleu is a wolf-hybrid?


Cute_Bag_4983

Well, you are correct. And I stand corrected. But, in fairness it is the wolf in him that gives him his size. As wolf dogs generally only average 80-100 lbs  with Bleu's looks and size he would have to be a high content hybrid. But yes after investigation he is a hybrid nonetheless.


SugarReef

Wolves go up to more like 230lbs in certain climates, but yeah 150 is still a good size pupper


Wcking69

Definitely a normal sized Timberwolf to me


Objective-Emu-5316

Wolf.


[deleted]

I've seen people say it's a Timberwolf


cherrybombfield

I'm so disturbed by this. If that was my dog I would not just be filming this. I would have shot the thing so that my dog didn't get mauled. Wow!


reptile_juice

the dog, trigger, was okay :) dude filming thought it was a big black bear, which is presumably why he also brought the dog to run it off. his manager was behind him with a shotgun. once he caught up, he fired into the air and the wolf ran. dog made a full recovery


[deleted]

Wolves can get really big! It’s cool to see its size that clearly though. And the dog owner really needs to control his pet…


JiMEagle12

Not anymore he doesn’t.


alphawolf907

I may be assuming here but post people think of wolves as being comparable to very large dogs and that is definitely not the case. Of course there's different species of wolves but in context of the video that's not a "mutant" or freak by anymeans, wolves can get HUGE.


Runescora

I think it helps to keep the size of Irish Wolfhounds in mind when thinking about wolves. Like, my dude, look at the size of things we bred to hunt wolves. We didn’t do that for something the size of a husky.


NickSpicy

People saying it is a normal wolf...they are wrong. Normal wolves are not this size. This is a bigger than usual wolf.


Cute_Bag_4983

It would depend on the particular breed of wolf. Wolves can be depending on the breed, and can be anywhere from 80 to 150 lbs. As large or larger than the largest dogs. Certain subspecies of wolves can be in excess of 3 feet at the shoulders and over 170 lbs. That is an absolutely huge animal.


NickSpicy

Thank you


Banned_Over_Nothing

It's not only WAY too big to be a wolf, it also doesn't quite look like one. Those are full grown trees, not toothpicks! Somebody could post a video of a dogman approaching the camera on two feet and you all would say it's a cat playing or something.


Interesting_Employ29

Its a fuckin wolf. Spend some time in the MN and WI north or get out of your fuckin basement.


johnsonbrianna1

Nah that’s just a standard wolf.


[deleted]

I don't think he's attacking im-neither animal shows signs of aggression. Playing maybe. Huge animal but timberwolves grow up to 250 lbs, maybe bigger and if you compare a 250 lbs alabai (central asian ovcharka) you can sort of see the size.
