In the forest across the street from my house, I saw this animal moving. It had brown fur, and was moving slowly. It wasn't a deer, but it looked bigger than a coyote. It also looked like if they stood on 2 legs, it would be taller than a coyote would. Could this be a wild hog? I've never seen one, but they are reportedly close to my area. It also appeared to have a tail like a squirrel's. Maybe it's a wolf? It was moving slowly, looked sort of like it was stalking, do coyotes do that?

I'm near the Ohio-Michigan border, so it could be from another state.

Picture would help.

chupacabra

Didn't get a picture, it was gone too fast, and it can't be the chupacabra, I wiped those out for the entire U.S. last year. :)

Are Michigan (ers???) called "Wolverines???" I am neither a great biologist or student of the "old northwest" which included Mich/OH... but I would start there. Luck.

[JImbothefiveth]

It could be, although this looked larger than what a wolverine is supposed to be. Actually, that's probably the best guess so far. Would a wolverine be moving slowly, like it was stalking something?

[longdayjake]

maybe a capibara? When I lived in brazil they were everywhere.

Wolverines move slowly because they CAN. Ain't nothing gonna mess with 'em.

No tellin' what you saw, how far away was it?

[JImbothefiveth]

My guess is that it was about 45 or 50 yards.

Because after the movie Red Dawn came out the Michigan House and Senate unanimously voted to name ourselves after the brave young men who helped repel the red invasion :D

Jimbo V--Not a wolverine. They live further north than MI. (Northern Canada & Alaska. Or, come to think of it, in the northern Rocky Mts.) Not a capybara. They live further south than MI. (South America.)

Wolves, if in MI at all, will be in the more northerly parts of the state, not down by the S border. Fishers aren't quite as big as your description, and they are more northerly, too.

No pig-like animal has a bushy tail. Coyotes can certainly stalk, but they are more gray than brown.

Frankly, from yr description, I don't have an idea what it IS you saw.

I think shaggy might be onto something or tunnug, you can always count me in on half assed theories. Was it near area 51? I know america is pretty big, bigger even than Lincolnshire. But you just never know.

maybe it was a Welshman?

[Inspector3711]

Maybe it was Austin Powers hanging out with my X wife?
