Our friend Jeffrey was able to take some pictures of this bizarre creature skulking around his back yard in Toronto. Help us solve the mystery and tell us what the hell this is! Is it an animal or the end of days? I’m screaming inside.
See more terrifying photos after the jump.

It’s a raccoon with mange. Shoot it and put it out of it’s misery before winter comes!

marco has a good idea there, but don’t trap it yet (unless you’re a sick SOB), since it appears to be a nursing mama raccoon. in the second and last pics you can see its naked milk-filled boobies (which means this entry is NSFW!).

I once saw a similar creature in my Toronto neighbourhood (near High Park). It had a similar shaped head but a much rounder body and more barrel-chested and its tail curled up over it’s lower back. It’s head and front half were very light in colour and it’s hind quarters were much darker (saw it at night, so difficult to decipher colours). The creature was roughly knee high. I saw it about 3 years ago and have never discovered what it was.

A raccoon with alopecia, I suspect. Definitely a raccoon, regardless.

It could also be a Fisher also known as a Fisher Cat, albeit a hairless one (part of the weasel family) but located in North America.

I live in Toronto but never seen one of these. I would say though someone either shaved a raccoon or it is one with a terrible condition of mange and lost all its hair. Definite a raccoon though.

Yep, it’s a hairless raccoon. If it’s a frequent visitor, I’d think about trapping it and finding a wildlife sanctuary that’ll be willing to care for it… because it isn’t going to survive the winter.

It is a raccoon. Either a recessive gene for hairless (same in dogs and cats) or it has a acute disease similar to mange. Freaking weird sight no doubt. Definitely one for “what the hell”

Perhaps a hairless Coati that someone decided wasn’t such a great house pet?
In any case, this thing is certainly rather horrific, much like Madonna’s arms of late…

I’m screaming inside with you! it looks like a hyena with alopecia, or some neighbor dog with a horrible skin condition. OR the end of days as you say. I hope NASA doesn’t experiment on it.

It looks like a hairless raccoon. Try sending the pictures to [email protected] The authors of the Zooillogix blog over at scienceblogs.com can usually identify weird animals. Even if they can’t, it’ll be fun to stump them.
