Coyotes (Canis latrans) stricken with mange, a skin disease caused by a mite, are usually what people see when when they claim to have seen the cryptic chupacabra. This individual has extensive hair loss everywhere but it’s back and it’s skin is crusty and irritated. [x]
Wolves (Canis lupus) can also contract mange, this animal’s hindquarters seem to be losing hair at a more rapid pace, probably because it’s an easy area for the animal to bite and scratch to try and relieve discomfort. [x]
Urban red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are a common sight in many regions, and spotting ones with unhealthy coats is far from unheard of. The look of a red fox without much fur is striking. [x]
Not a case of mange, but a sleek grey fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) with a genetic mutation that interferes with the growth of guard hairs, referred to as a Sampson fox. [x]
If only this shot of a maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) had the animal’s entire legs clearly in frame, it would have interesting to see the most gangly wild canid appear even more spindly. [x]
An urban raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) with patches of heavily crusted skin being fed by hand, not the best thing to do with a sick wild animal.[x]
A dhole (Cuon alpinus) showing off their thinning red coat. [x]
This extremely mangy Black backed jackal (Canis mesomelas) is standing on a mound of large animal bones. [x]
A pair of nearly nude African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), their tails still have a bit of fluff left. [x]
The deep, crusty crevices on the side of this unfortunate golden jackal (Canis aureus) look very painful. [x]
