Kinda sorta copy/pasted question from Reddit. But wanted to see what your answers are like on here!

    I was driving through a rather desolate part of Australia 20 years ago with a friend. Suddenly there was this weird animal in the road. It was dog-like, but way bigger than a dingo. With wool-like fur hanging from its entire body. I slowed down because I was curious, but my mate panicked, and shoutet at me to drive, so I did. I have never seen anything like that animal since.

      Ooh, a cryptid sighting, that’s fun! Have you looked through a list to see if any of them resemble it?

        Interesting list! None of them seem to match, though… as others have said, it might have been a llama or wild dog, but it did not have a long neck, and it was quite big, so not likely a dog either. But my memory might not be accurate. This was 20 years ago.

          Another common explanation for those sorts of sightings is that it might have been an animal with mange or some other disease that made it look “wrong” compared to a typical representative of the species.
