What is it?
One theory is that it's a red fox with some type of short-coat mutation or diet deficiency, or even mange (though it really does not look mangey).
Another theory is that it is a Gray Fox with all of the above or perhaps even a coyote with all of the above.
It looks a bit like a jackal to me, but I suspect it is some freakish red fox. In any case, this is a "mystery beast" actually photographed in North Carolina

It's a gray fox with no undercoat. This type is called a "Samson Fox."
