SIUC grad backs feral Akita theory for Maine cryptid
Loren Coleman, a cryptozoologist and SIUC alumnus, argues the Maine highway animal found dead is a feral Akita rather than a Saluki or mutant. He notes dew claws and long wild behavior, while authorities have not examined the carcass thoroughly. Coleman warns wolves may also roam Maine’s forests, and disputes local cattle-killing claims as unrelated.
