WNYBuckHunter Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If you look at a coyote, their tails are pretty long. Remove the hair and they look even longer. Who knows how long it was in the trap before they took the video, so its not too surprising its calm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 It's a Peruvian Hairless Dog. Saw one at a nature center during my trip to Peru a couple of years ago. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sugexp=emsp&cp=11&gs_id=z&xhr=t&q=peruvian+hairless+dog&rlz=1R2ADSA_enUS425&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1157&bih=804&wrapid=tljp1313760762970018&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdswtr Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I dont think its a hairless peruvian dog, In the begining of the video when its standing the body shape is too different, chest is small and narrow and a peruvian has a big chest relative to the size of their body, looks real close though. I wish I could remember where I seen a picture of this thing before as it described what it was. But I think its campaigning for the presidency couldnt do any worse ???

Elmo Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Look at the google images. The real name is actually "Peruvian Inca Orchid" and there's actually 2 versions. A haired version which is the one I saw and pictured I posted and a true hairless version. The truely hairless one are skinny and looks like a black hairless greyhound of sorts. Apparently there's also ones with a lighter skin color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdswtr Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I understand but if you pause the picture when its legs are showing and blow it up it looks like it has hoofs like a deer and not dogs feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
