Any guesses as to what this animal could be?



Pic taken in N Florida.

Pretty sure it isn't a deer - no ears, appears to have a long tail, body size is wrong. Moving very fast.

Know it isn't a fox, pig, or dog.

Coworker set up the game cam, she thinks they have a cougar on/around the property, they've seen it in person a few times but this is the only pic the game cam has taken.

That could be anything. It looks like all the bigfoot or UFO photos.

It is the elusive Florida booger monster.

They have one at the Jax Zoo.

length of legs tells me deer. "Pretty sure it isn't a deer - no ears, appears to have a long tail, body size is wrong."

You can't tell about any of the stuff in your sentence above because the shutter speed was way to long. A blurred item as in the photo can be nearly impossible to identify. Her game came needs a flash. Then even with the blur, you'd probably be able to tell what the animal is.

Here's your problem --> "Moving very fast." Or at least, too fast for the shutter speed.

Looks to be a blurrysaurus. Pretty common beast in the crypto- zoological realm.

It's clearly a Space ball gone plaid as you can see in this photographic enhancement.

Supposed to it shoot first, with a gun, not with a camera, so you don't have to ask questions later.
