I was going to say, an emaciated fox, after viewing the slide show...
It’s a young fox.
Crypto-Beast-Ping!
Looks like it has sarcoptic mange (canine scabies).
El Chupacabras.
too bad it couldn't be caught and giving treatment - but in the meantime - leave it some food and water - It's very doubtful it can catch it's own food at the point - which is why he's coming to humans for help.
Animals do that.
I had a raccoon that came for help after having is tail ripped off probably by a car.
His back right hindquarters were also badly injured. I put ot food and water for him for over a month and he recovered enough to get along on his own.
A deer came for help - after having been shot in the foreleg - she had twin fawns with her. I put out deer pellets for over a month until I could see she was much better.
I have ‘house mouse’ that came crawling up on my son in bed one cold night - just a baby - stood up on his chest and just sat there shivering. We made him a ‘house’ in a glass fish aquarium - and he ‘lives’ next to my computer. He's 5 yrs old now - his favorite foods are dandelions, clover and salted pumpkin seeds.
I hope someone does the right thing for this poor animal. they only ask for help when in dire straights. He doesn't appear to be rabid - but maybe a debilitating and painful case of mange?
I think it is some kind of bizarre fish.
Looks like a grungy and mangy fox or a very young and hungry coyote.
It’s an ordinary fox with severe mange.
How stupid are people?
It is a fox with mange and little bit of pond scum.
It’s a hybrid. Note the stripes on the legs.
Maybe a coytote and Tasmanian Wof.
Fox with mange.
