Mysterious creature running loose in Los Angeles caught on camera. Wolf, Coyote, El Chupacabra? This strange creature explained. Is this mysterious creature caught on camera roaming the streets of Los Angeles a wolf or maybe an el chupacabra? Welcome back Hoax Factor friends, its Cary and I was asked to research what this mysterious creature is that was caught on camera somewhere on the streets of LA. The usual On first glance it looks like a wolf, on second glance it looks like it just may eat your face off. Of course, others on the interwebs think it's an el chupacabra. But then those are the kind of people who think anything and everything is a chupacabra. Well we can dismiss it being an El Chupacabra, because as I have pointed out in other videos, this woman who started the whole el chupacabra scare was watching the movie species and apparently thought it was a documentary. She probably also believes there's a place in New York called Sesame Street where the air is sweet, but a homeless grouch lives in a garbage can, while whatever this creature. So could it be a wolf? The California Gray wolf has been on the endangered species list since 2014. Wolves hadn't been spotted in California since the early 1900's when they were being eradicated due to a government funded extermination campaign. However, in 2011 a wolf crossed the border from Oregon into California to become the first wild wolf in California since 1924. And then again in 2015, a gray wolf pack was discovered in Northern California. The pack known as the shasta pack consisted of 2 adults and 5 pups. According to a report in the Sacramento Bee, their whereabouts are currently unknown, but yet another wolf had been spotted on trail cameras. So is this creature captured in LA a wolf? It does seem to fit the description of one. In my research I found that this image come s from a video that has been trending on YouTube. The video is from a dog rescue organization called Hope For Paws and the dog in the video is quite possibly a wolf-hybrid, also known as a Wolfdog. A wolfdog is created when you breed a domesticated dog with one of four wolf species. The gray, eastern timber, red or Ethiopian Wolves. In fact, gray wolves and dogs are so genetically close they are considered the same species. There is considerable debate on whether or not a wolfdog would make a good pet. Some claim that they make wonderful pets, while others argue that they are unpredictable, untrainable and inherently dangerous. My own experience with a friend's wolfdog while living in Colorado, would tend to agree with the latter. Bob's wolfdog was not social at all and seemed to hate being penned up in even a backyard with a lot of space. He would just pace back and forth and eye you suspiciously. My friend eventually gave the wolfdog away. This story was a bit different than what I do. After researching, I almost didn't make this video but felt that with the Holiday season upon us, a hoax turned into a feel good story would be worth doing. Julia, the dog in the image and video was rescued by this organization and apparently is now in a home and quite healthy looking. Full disclosure for transparency. I am not affiliated with the organization involved in anyway shape or form. I only know of their existence through researching this story. But with that in mind... Please check out the link in the description below to see how happy and healthy Julia is. And if you're in the giving mood, please take some time to maybe donate to the organization so they can continue to help other animals in need. Original Video: Julia: a wolf? a coyote? a dog?
