In episode 610: Shunka Warakin; Mr.E and Jay Clone, from Cryptids Of The Corn, explore the Shunka Warakin, a mythical creature in North American folklore resembling a dark-furred hybrid of a wolf and hyena. They discuss its historical sightings, including one from 1886 in Montana, and various interpretations of its identity, ranging from a hyena to a dire wolf. 

The discussion also covers the late 1800s to early 1900s, when people could buy exotic animals like hyenas, suggesting that escaped hyenas might have survived in the wild. They speculate about the adaptability of hyenas to different climates and the possibility of misidentifying large predators as Sunka Warakins, considering human tendencies to exaggerate animal size and danger. They conclude by expressing belief in the possible existence of hyenas or similar creatures in North America due to exotic animals escaping, but ultimately believe the sightings could truly be the elusive, Shunka Warakin.
