Lore
Shunka Warak'in ("carries off dogs") is a mysterious hyena-wolf hybrid from Montana folklore and 19th-century reports. Dark with stripes, it preyed on livestock and dogs; a taxidermied specimen (now lost) fueled speculation of an unknown canid or cryptid survivor from prehistoric times in the American West.
