It's Anubis, Egyptian Lord of the Dead.

Is that photo of Hal, the Central Park coyote? I just read about that.

I saw a coyote on the Oakland railroad tracks a year or so ago, it saw me and ran into a culvert.

Ha, Anubis was my first though, too!

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 23 March 2006 21:08 (twenty years ago)

Also Anubis was my first thought regarding this thread, in addition to being "my first." I'll never forget his touch.

THE ANSWER: "Perry Sumner, a biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, said it's likely a red fox with a rare genetic condition known as Sampson, an abnormality in which the animal lacks a layer of fur called guard hair.

"Without this thick outer coat for protection, the normally nocturnal fox would be forced to hunt during the day when it's warm and sleep under heated buildings at night..."

Sorry to destroy the mystery.

Sampson is an unusual name for a rare genetic condition. Marcus would be better.
