@Shunka Warakin
I can totally see that! In a lot of ways, this critter is very wolfen. But the slope of the back and the stance make me think that it’s not a wolf… Chasmaporthetes were said to be more doglike than like a true hyena. Aardwolfs are the last of that lineage, but all they eat are termites XD. Still, they look fairly similar.
The artist’s name is Shunka Warakin? As in the creature with the name meaning “Carries off Dogs” in a Siouxan dialect? Also known as the Ringdocus and Rocky Mountain Hyena? As in this thing?
Mad respect to a fellow cryptid enthusiast, as well as a great artist.

Ayep. It’s Ioway. And I subscribe to the Chasmaporthetes theory. ;)
