If they don't know what it is how do they know it's in its natural habitat? Or even if it's an incredible animal?

Ain't enough fur on the scruff of the neck and the shoulders to be a badger. I was thinking two pigs headed in same direction.

The article was updated today. They believe the animal to be an American badger.

On Saturday, just days after a photo the park posted on Facebook went viral and garnered hundreds of guesses at what the elusive creature pictured hidden among trees at nighttime might be, officials announced that they too agree with most that the animal is most likely an American badger.

Back in my misbegotten cowboy youth I ran a trapline and caught a lot of badgers. I have never seen one with legs that long. Badgers also appear nearly flat and not round

The camera is on the ground or close to it, so the legs appear longer than they would if viewed from higher up.
