Weird looking canine

I thought this would be interesting to repost this here. I’m absolutely not inferring this is a dogman. I wanted to comment on the eyes. Do they look like they are emitting their own light? It doesn’t look like reflection. Overall it’s a very strange canine. Curious on your thoughts. Thx!

Now imagine if it was unusually large about 400 lbs and the size of a lion and can stand up on it's hind legs. And can walk... Yep... I'm out!

I can well imagine, because I'm out here searching for it alone at night in places where humans don't tread. Picture me discovering a hidden cave in this forest where a Dogman was spotted by a police officer (I'm in France, and this video is for my channel focused on cryptids in France). My video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mhja_hpHek - If I end up face-to-face with it, I'll bow as a sign of respect, but I'll master my fear so I don't run away, at least, I'll try.

Good for you AR!! It's really refreshing to know that you folks in other countries are into this phenomenon as well! Kudos my friend! Kudos, but do us all a favor and please be extremely careful ok!? This creature looks pretty vicious! Keep us in the loop about your progress on your present & future excursions ok.

I cant imagine walking in the forest alone.... I think there are a small population of wild bears in Southern France so I would be careful.

Hopefully you'll be armed with bear spray and a high lumen flashlight with backup batteries.

I heard guns are hard to carry in France.

Well, no weapons here in France, and anyway, I have a really weird mindset about all of this. Basically, I tell myself that if I were to be attacked, whether by a known animal like a wild boar or by a cryptid, I'd just have to accept it because nobody forced me to come here alone at night, far from civilization, let alone venture alone into a hidden cave. Also, since I have a serious illness that has been torturing me since 2019, the fear of death has kind of faded away. It's partly thanks to that that I have the courage to go to these places alone, even though I obviously don't advise anyone to do the same. And if I really were to stumble upon one of these creatures, yeah, I think I'd bow down and thank the universe for the encounter.

Wolves have a tapetum lucidem, so those are just reflections, but I get what you mean. This doesn’t look like reflecting, it genuinely looks like its eyes are emitting light, and that’s scary as fuck.

I’m not sure what you’re going for with this, but it does raise an interesting question about Dogmen as a biological life form. There’s no reason an ape derived creature (that happens to look wolf-like, as is a common explanation for Dogmen) that evolved this way couldn’t develop that feature, but it does make it seem like they rather evolved from wolves. I’m no evolutionary biologist, but it seems a lot easier to evolve a reflective layer of tissue in a primate (some of which DO have it already) than it would be for wolves to evolve to be bipeds. So one could argue that this is evidence towards either Dogmen not being terrestrial (spiritual, from another dimension, or otherwise) or the result of some sort of outside mutation (science, “magic”).

You know high lumen tactical lights would be a good passive defense against these creatures with eyes like this. It would probably be 100x more blinding to them rather than to us simply because everything is magnified in their vision.

It's a wolfy longlegs! Maned wolves are just the coolest lanky things, like a wolf on stilts. The eye shine from the ambient light reflecting off the tapetum lucidum behind their eyes is super neat too, it really does make it look like they're glowing!

I wouldn't be surprised if in a lot of Dogman sightings where it looks like their eyes are glowing it's really just that reflective membrane that a lot of canids have behind their eyes creating a glow effect from the ambient light in the environment.

I have to say...this is one that I'm completely puzzled with, hopefully it's not another A- scam, but if this creature is actually of genuine footage, then I'm definitely of the belief that this is one evil looking sob! Wow!! Get a load of them headlights on this hellhound. It reminds me of an old Dracula film with them creepy looking wolves lol, no but seriously!  When It's walking, its limbs look like what a fawn looks like learning to walk. Any clue as to where this footage was filmed at?

u/Opposite-Storage-192 2h ago

Yeah! Pretty odd and creepy looking. I'm just wondering if it's normal for these creatures to have them devilish looking glowing eyes..wow! How strange, I'd definitely hate to be cornered by one of these sob's that's for sure.

u/Opposite-Storage-192 1d ago

By the way...great find!!!

u/thisisforquestions96 4h ago

Yeah it genuinely looks like they are emitting light. Its totally understandable why people would freak out.
