This "animal expert" says this is some sort of canine. I've never seen a canine eat with its front paws while sitting on its haunches. I've never seen anything like it. Could be a 'coon with mange, but maybe not.
It's none of those. I see one of those almost every day. It looks just like my cranky batty old neighbor....
Well from the video of the white haired woman who obviously coiffures her own hair, I suspect she may be one donut shy of a dozen. That “thing” in the cage is obviously a kangaroo whom has been the subject of some bizarre hair styling attempt gone wrong resulting in the poor thing having to be shaved completely bald. I know about these things. 😉
Looks like my mother-in-law! She sits and eats like that. :-O
This is also coming from the organization that considered "Black Holes" for the disappearance of flight 370. CNN has lost their credibility. Proof is in their ratings. Not really my kind of source for news. To me they hang on anything to bump their ratings. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that to that little coon and called the local news to get it on their channel asap!
It's a Raccoon. The mannerisms give it away.
They are not so cute without hair.
This must have been an April Fools joke.
They have loads of sharp teeth because they are omnivores.
Some sort of hybrid raccoon. Definitely has the movements of one. When he was born his mama decided he was too ugly to keep so she let a family of coyotes adopt him.
I think it is just a Raccoon with mange or some type of skin condition.
The rest of the story..
Horrible source for news, but there is probably something to it.

I think you (and a couple of others) nailed it. mange or shaved....but a raccoon.
Coatimundi with a skin condition maybe?
