WTF is this?

Someone spotted and filmed what they claim to be an unknown animal in Jennings Forest right outside of Jacksonville. It looks pretty much like some sort of rat dog, or jackal, or maybe even a bear-man-elephant-pig hybrid (we are talking about the outskirts of Jacksonville after all). Can anyone shed some light as to WTF this is? We will file this with the rest of our list of mythical creature sightings

We tried to look up "Jennings Forest" on google maps but all that came up was Jennings Park off of North Main and we don't think they are the same.

believe it or not that's a coyote. they're even in and around mandarin. that one looks pretty young and scraggly. it could have mange looking at the hair that appears to be missing around the face.

That indeed is a coyote. They have been migrating eastward out of Texas for several years and have been found in several areas throughout Northeast Florida forests for last couple of years.

Texas sucks so much that even the wildlife is leaving. :)

Jennings is a state forest. It is west of Middleberg. http://www.fl-dof.com/state_forests/jennings.html
