On a foggy morning more than a week ago, Cary Shuker’s cat raced into his Riverside home, terrified of something outside.

Shuker said the hairless creature, glaring at him about 80 or 90 feet away, had a tail like a rat or a possum, with rippled pinkish skin, teeth jutting both up and down out of its jaws and was “at least two feet or more longer than the biggest coyote you’ve ever seen.”
