Shunka Warak'in - Ioway tribe of mysterious creature

In the United States, there is a mysterious creature carcass and preserved for over 100 years can not be identified by one-even scientists. Could the creature is Shunka Warak'in, the legendary creature known among the Ioway Indian tribe?

Mysterious creature was first mentioned in a famous autobiography Kriptozolog named Dr. Ross E Hutchins, titled "Trails to Nature's Mysteries: The Life of a Working Naturalist" which was published in 1977. In it displayed a black and white photo strange creature was taken by the grandfather of Dr. Ross himself. In the book, Dr. Ross acknowledged that he was unable to determine what type of creature with certainty.

 

Earlier in 1886, Israel Ammon Hutchins, grandfather of Dr. Ross Hutchins discovered and shot dead a strange big dog on his ranch on the Madison River valley, north of Ennis, Montana.

Then Israel to preserve the carcass and then donate them to an expert taksidermis named Joseph Sherwood. Sherwood then put the carcass that has been preserved to the glass box and he has exhibited in the museum near Henry River, Idaho. Sherwood called the specimen with the name "Ringdocus'.

Story Ringdocus then forgotten until one day a man named Mark Hall kriptozolog offensive strange creature sightings dog that looked similar in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Alberta. Mr. Hall then refer to the photographs taken by Hutchins to describe the creature.

In addition to Mark Hall, Loren Coleman is another kriptozolog researching these creatures. In 1995, Coleman was approached by an Ioway Indian tribe named Lance Foster. Lance told Coleman that among the Ioway Indian tribe is a strange creature who cries like a human when killed. Foster description is similar to a Hyena and specimens that Hutchins was murdered just like description.
Shunka Warak'in in Ioway Indian language means "take the dog." This name was given because residents are often caught Shunka Ioway tribe Warak'in-ngendap settle in tents and then took away their dog.
Shunka Warak'in described as a dark hairy creature with a head like a dog, has a high shoulder and back which decreased with short legs and settled in the territory of Montana, Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa. This description indicates that this creature may be a mix between a wolf and Hyena.
Some suspect that Shunka Warak'in kriptozolog is hyaenodon, ancient dogs that have been extinct. While Loren Coleman guessed that this creature is Borophagus ancient creatures that still survive to modern times.
What is interesting is the similarities between the descriptions Shunka Warak'in with El chupacabra, a dog who believed like killing animals and sucking out their blood.

Supposedly, the specimens are preserved with remarkable was handed over to scientists for further investigation, particularly to examine its DNA. But a few years ago, the specimen had disappeared from the public. It is said he was moved to an area in Yellowstone.
After reading the story of this creature in October 2007, Jack Kirby, grandson of Israel Hutchins others decided to keep track of this specimen until it is found in the Museum of Natural History in Pocatello. The museum was finally agreed to lend it to Kirby specimens for display in the Madison Valley History Museum. Finally, the researchers can conduct further research on this specimen.

However, further research is then to provide additional information that has not been publicly known. This dog-sized 122 cm from the tip of snout to rear (not including the tail). The distance the tip of his head from the ground is 70 cm. This creature has a short snout and a dark-colored fur.

Maybe Shunka warak'in legend is not just a creature that is in the fairy tale. In December 2005 to November 2006, Montana residents reported a strange wolves that kill their livestock. It was estimated about 120 cattle were killed in Garfield County, Montana.

Some kriptozolog figured maybe it was an act Shunka Warak'in.
