Probably an anteater, but borzoi isn't off the table.

Edit: TIL anteater is one word, lol.

If it is a borzoi i wonder what their bark would sound like with that tiny mouth!

[โ€“] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

If you posted a comment I do not see it.

Thank you!

That confirmed something I'd noticed before, but wasn't quite sure how to deal with. THANK YOU.

Seems like it's the 'giant anteater' breed! :P
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_anteater

Anteaters track prey by their scent.[14] After finding a nest, the animal tears it open with its claws and inserts its long, sticky tongue to collect its prey (which includes eggs, larvae, and adult insects).[22][17] An anteater attacks up to 200 nests in one day, for as long as a minute each, and consumes a total of around 35,000 insects.[20][17] The anteater may be driven away from a nest by the chemical or biting attacks of soldiers.[14] Termites may rely on their fortified mounds for protection or use an underground tunnel system to escape.[47] --WP

Their claws are evidently fearsome tools, able to tear apart even cement-like termite mounds. Methinks that if the one above really wanted to, it could rip that wooden fence to shreds.

If you pretend its snout is an arm and the arm in the middle is its head it looks like something out of Silent Hill

Worst glory hole ever?

Or best glory hole ever?

[โ€“] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

No your comment w the animal does not show up.

Wait yes it does. Its the anteater with some text.

[โ€“] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

I'm still baffled why there's a delay, or whatever it is that happened.

Bah. 3yrs in to Fediverse-posting and I'm still an idiot. :S
