What appears to be a wolf-dog hybrid has been discovered wandering around the woods of northern Minnesota … and experts can’t make heads or tails of the mysterious beast!

The wild find occurred after the Voyageurs Wolf Project — a University of Minnesota research group — captured footage of the animal, which looks super cool, roaming around a trail.

And now, a debate has ensued as to what exactly this apparent wolf-pooch might be … and how the heck this happened!

And this ain’t no hoax … the mystery beast — again, super cool looking! — has been spotted nearly a dozen times in the area since late March, per the group, which posted the vids and info to social media.

Making the situation even more curious … the mystery beast was seen on multiple occasions hanging with wolves!

While the experts hash it out … they note whatever it is may look super cute and sweet … but it is still a wild animal with some dangerous pals — so best to just enjoy it via video footage.
