Texas wildlife officials were left stumped last week after a “mystery animal” was caught on camera by a park visitor.
Texas Parks and Wildlife said the visitor had taken the photo with a game camera — which is used in hunting — in the Rio Grande Valley.
“We’re scratching our heads trying to identify this elusive creature. Is it a new species? An escapee from a nearby zoo? Or just a park ranger in disguise,” the park wrote in a social media post. “Regardless, it’s thrilling to see such an incredible animal in its natural habitat.”
