A while back a story was circulating about a "mysterious canine" that had been shot in Montana. (I put up an article on it here). DNA tests were going to be done to find out what, exactly, it was, and now, the results are in.
CBS 19 out of Tyler, Texas has a new article up on the findings:

CBS 19 out of Tyler, Texas has a new article up on the findings:
The strange-looking canine creature shot in central Montana a month ago that captured the curiosity of the nation was a regular gray wolf, even if it did have big ears and tiny feet, DNA tests have confirmed.
DNA from the animal was tested at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service forensic laboratory in Ashland, Ore.
The lab compared the animal's DNA with thousands of other samples from wolves, coyotes and dogs, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said Monday.
'The conclusion was clear - this animal is a gray wolf from the northern Rocky Mountains,' FWP said in a news release.
'It's not that surprising,' said Ty Smucker, an FWP wolf management specialist. 'It's either going to be a gray wolf or a dog.'
No wolf packs are established in central Montana.
