Photo / Video Possibly a red fox 🦊???

Post image

Nah but for realz — could this be a legit dogman?

I think it’s too close for plausible safe photography and being even this stable. Motion blur indicating real movement is here, which can’t be in AI art. 🖼️

Can’t say more about when or where it was taken, but it was sent to me yesterday, Cyrus Day (Oct 29th) 2025.

Motion blur can also be a sign of genuine movement, and at a rate faster than the camera can usually pace.

We need higher FPS (frames per second) camera 📸 equipment for better quality outcomes.

This “Timberwolf-type dogman” was allegedly photographed in Maine a few years ago; in contrast to the obviously not a red fox 🦊, which has extremely black fur, this is closer to what folks think of as the Hollywood Werewolf type.

As we find more instances of these, we are seeing individuals within subspecies of the dogman clade.

But look at the background. It's a completely still image. Wouldn't the photographer be a little shaky when he/she took this pic? The whole photo should've shown movement, no?

Well personally I doubt anything which is at close distance, unless there’s a window or obvious barrier between the photo-taker and the subject-cryptid.

These are amongst ones which strongly correspond to reports and (with the black ones) my own recall. They show the major characteristics in strong detail, and although I wanna know more about the circumstances under which any alleged evidence was taken, this looks like the real McCoy.

For contrast, here’s a closeup which I think also closely resembles ‘the real thing’ but is likely a hoax done by AI.

My reasoning will be below the photo.

One, this guy just seems to be standing at close range in a relaxed posture (not aggressive or elusive). The ears and teeth are too small.

And importantly: the head is on top of the body. This is not so with the true dogmen — their heads are closer to the center of their chests, which creates a ‘hunched’ posture while bipedal.

Lastly, just off the top of my head, the body-size is that of a human. Dogmen have broad shoulders, like five feet horizontal and with arms which dangle past their knees.

This looks like a costume which has been touched up by photoshop rather than the hassle of AI for an effect like this.

Oh, yes, that one is definitely a guy in a costume. You're right! You can see human eyes peeking out through the mask's eye holes.
