According to the coast to coast (art bell) site it is!
I'm not entirely certain of where it came from.
So many jokes could be made baout Furries or LARPing.

Im confused, assuming that this isnt just a trick of the light, what if anything would indicate a werewolf and not just a wolf/canine?
Edit: Never Mind, just saw the ART BELL name that explains it.

I guess because it looks kind of odd and large. It doesn't, in fairness, look like a wolf or dog. The head seems too wide and flat in the front. Though I think it looks like a mask, and I don't mean that in a facetious way at all.

Looking at the image, the "mouth full of teeth" looks suspiciously like part of the tree on the left, such as a broken limb. It has the same light edges you see on sections of the tree above and below the "mouth." This would put the other features, the "eyes" and "snout" portions, some distance behind it. The image is far too indistinct to make out what it could be, although it shares the same coloration as the large tree on the right, leading me to conclude the "face" is probably mottled tree bark. Why does it look like a pair of eyes? I suspect pareidolia. Finding "faces" in natural forms is a pretty common occurance.
Then again, one cannot rule out the possibility of an outright hoax.

| Well, the teeth do look like possible branches, but what makes me suspicious is that shade of yellow. It just seems SO similar to the "rotten teeth" yellow used on the teeth of so many monster masks. |

A glance through a magnifying glass tells me that the "teeth" are indeed and definatly, twigs. The "face" behind them could be anything including tricks of shadow.
I think it has been shopped -- whatever, it ain't no canine.
