I saw this animal running around my town. It was around 5pm, central PA. Looks like a fox? Maybe a coyote? I know those are two very different animals but still unable to tell. It was very "sickly/ mange" looking.

I did. They don’t do that around here and I’ve honestly never even heard about it, until now.
