Does anyone know what this animal is? Found on upper Mission canyon. Kind of looks like a fox, or some kind of a wild cat. Came back multiple times throughout the night trying to get water from the fountain.

Cat, though can't be sure if it's wild, feral or multi domiciled.

Most likely fox, but not entirely certain. Any more pix?

Cat, foxes have fluffier tails.

Juvenile Red fox. White front, pointy ears, long and narrow muzzle, fluffy tail, long legs.

That outstretched neck is too long for a fox.

See how the stuffed animal is mounted in the ring. I beieve from my studies as a PhD in zoology that this is a stuffed Australian dingo, canis familiaris dingo.

Hopefully you're saying that tongue in cheek.
If you look at the position of the feet and the head, they're different in each photo. Unlikely that a prankster would go to all that trouble to fool the gullible.

Stuffed dingos are unusual, perhaps illegal ! Customs and Immigration, since they are on total stand-down on the US border, should have time to investigate this !

It is vastly more important that the ICS investigate this perhaps illegal stuffed Australian dingo importation here ! OMG, shall taxidermists be allowed these outrages?!
So what that 800,000 illegal immigrants come here, mostly criminals released from prison, children to be sold into sex slavery, drug trafickers. You happy rich folks in SB don't care... YET !

Agree with Minibeast: Juvenile (or drought-starved) Red Fox; you can clearly see the black tip to the tail.
