I can't think of anything else in the size range that has a long face and a bushy tail...<br /><br />One other thought is that melanistic jaguars can look a "purplish" colour that some might call "maroon" or "burgundy" in certain lights - but while about the right size, a jaguar certainly wouldn't have a bushy tail, and i don't think they'd be very likely to dig.stevethehydrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18334234855643025449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-27521676334933854782010-01-28T11:00:55.323+00:002010-01-28T11:00:55.323+00:00A maned wolf?
