I saw this and wasn't sure if it was worth posting here or not. Seems too unlikely to be true. But, the Facebook post seems legit.
I'm skeptical that's what happened. But it's worth following the story for sure.
I want to know more about the victim. What was he doing out there? Hunting, hiking, other?

Agreed. I would hope there is more substantial evidence that would point to a death by attack rather than died and then scavenged...making that post without decent evidence would be careless.
I'm from Hood county so I'll see what I hear through the rumor mill.

This reads like an incident where the authorities are actually covering for a vampire or werewolf.

I have a friend that works in the tarrant county medical examiner's office. The deceased had his throat ripped open with canine puncture wounds in the stomach.
Canine or Feline?
Dayuum.
The reality is Lipan is right by the cat that was hit by the HS student a couple years ago in Palo Pinto County as Hood County buts up against Palo Pinto. It's all the same terrain.

Guys, take this with a grain of salt. It is my understanding that it was not a lion, and the sheriff's office jumped the gun on things. I will update when I hear more.
Speak English much ?
That actually makes way more sense.
My understanding is TPWD is pissed and having to do damage control.
Probably a pit bull
I can imagine so.

Are you trying to give him grief because you don't understand dental anatomy?
"Wounds in the stomach"
Ok, NONE of the actual wildlife specialists believe it is a lion.....the sheriff's office does not want to back off their initial statement. USDA is supposed to release a statement shortly.
Pack it up boys, CBS11 just confirmed it on the air. Oddly enough using nearly identical language as the sheriff's office. They closed the story by reminding everyone to stay scared and in their homes and segued straight into the latest COVID-19 pandemic case numbers.
Yeah, WS is dragging their feet a lot on getting a statement out.

You beat me to it.
So, what was it? Cat? Dog? Chupacabra?ursusguy said:

Don't know a definitive answer as to what, but from a wildlife angle nothing is consistent with mountain lion.

That leaves only a chupacabra, man-bear-pig, or Kamala Harris as suspects.
But seriously, why is it so difficult to determine the culprit? You'd think they'd find some animal hair or something on him to help figure it out. Forensics is pretty damn advanced these days, from what my wife tells me, from her murder shows on ID Channel.
Hood County Sheriffs dept on Facebook has an update indicating it was NOT a mountain lion. Shocking news!!
They ruled out homicide and suicide.

Interesting they ruled out homicide.
Hood County most certainly isn't dealing with a bunch of murders on the reg.Schu in Mizzou said:ursusguy said:

In before the pit bull announcement
Wonder if it's some kind of illegal exotic "pet?"

That seems a bigger leap than a mountain lion. Was he found in an opened pen covered in tiger sign but no tiger? Why would the sheriff say it was a mountain lion in that case?
Good odds the guy accidentally OD'ed on whatever his recreational drug of choice was unknowingly laced with (eg, fentanyl) and was found by scavengers.
Well, KPRC 2 in Houston just doubled down on this story in today's noon news. Reported the mountain lion attack in Hood with an interview with the sheriff confirming the attack and recommending not wandering after dark and no pets left outside. He did say that no one has seen the cat but the condition of the body indicates a mountain lion. They even bolstered the report with a grainy trail can video of a mountain lion (you can tell it is indeed one) they say is from Rowlett, though they say in an after thought type of way, they don't think they are related. Can we all say sensationalism... May be a mountain lion and may not, but never let a possible story go unexploited for some more advertising bucks....
It wasn't a Tiger. I read this book a couple of years back:
https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Vengeance-Survival-Vintage-Departures/dp/0307389049
True story of Russian para-military group that protects endangered Tigers in Sibera. Very good read btw.
The Tiger on human kills were described as if the victim had exploded. Blood everywhere and very little actual human remains. Only shreds of clothing and maybe a finger or some such. Definitely not enough to ID a body or have a proper funeral.

Probably a good book. But you do realize that no one is suggesting it may have been a tiger, right?
