Japan: A monstrous Ezo (Hokkaido) wolf. From the Kaikidan Ekotoba Monster Scroll, mid-19th century.

This illustration shows an Ezo Wolf (also known as a Hokkaido Wolf), which is believed to have gone extinct in the late 19th century, after this illustration was made. The animal is seen here with its paw on a human skull. The Kaikidan Ekotoba is a mid-19th century handscroll that profiles 33 legendary monsters and human oddities, mostly from the Kyushu region of Japan, but with several from other countries, including China, Russia and Korea. The document, whose author is unknown, is in the possession of the Fukuoka City Museum.
