A VERY rough sketch for the Cryptid Calendar - more info here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2115079/
This is the Shunka Warakin, a Native American legendary beast whose names means "carries-off-dogs" . . . which is exactly what it is doing. If this is too gruesome I may have to change it to a chewed-off leash hanging from its jaws, although that would be too much to like that scene in Jurassic Park 2 where the t. rex eats the pooch. Cryptid enthusiasts have suggested the Shunka Warakin is a surviving prehistoric canine, everything from the fairly reasonable dire wolf to critters like creodonts that are certainly not still around. Here I've drawn it as a monstrous amalgam of several N. American predators - bear, wolf, cougar, even a bit of wild hog thrown in.
Just the lines here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5352055/

Neat amalgamation. I've always been fascinated with the stories of this particular beast. I think the most reasonable theory I'd heard was a North American hyena species that was dying out by the time Europeans were arriving in North America. Or perhaps even gone quite a few hundred years before that but surviving in the stories told by indigenous tribesman.
