This picture shows a strange creature that was spotted outside the fence of a zoo in Texas.

The image was captured by a security camera on the perimeter fence of the Amarillo Zoo in Texas. The photo was posted on the page of the zoo's group in social networks and the guards were very puzzled to find this creature recorded by a camera reacting to movement.

Original news

A Reddit user posted a picture that, according to his description, was taken recently by a surveillance camera installed near an 8-foot (2.5 meters) fence that runs along the perimeter of the Amarillo Zoo in Texas, USA.

In a photo dated May 21, 2022, an incomprehensible creature is depicted next to the fence, similar to a person with the head of a wolf or a dog. The creature stands upright on two legs bent at the knees.

The picture aroused great interest among Internet users. Someone thought that this was a werewolf or Dogman , others were sure that this was a man in a carnival costume, a child in a fur hat, or even that it was just some kind of tuft of grass or debris stuck in the fence.

You can clearly see the sharp long ears, very straight legs, long arms and tail.

More attentive commentators drew attention to the fact that the creature has very strange proportions of arms and legs for an ordinary person. It was also believed that it was a chupacabra who was attracted to the animals in the zoo and that she was looking around the fence in search of a loophole to get inside.

Another user stated that the photo was of an ordinary Texas coyote, whose body suffered from severe scabies and therefore lost its hair. And on two paws he was filmed by accident when he jumped. Although this theory seems to be very far-fetched.

As the user who posted this photo on Reddit pointed out, the picture was originally posted in a closed group of zoo workers on Facebook, and they could not understand what it was.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Pareidolic illusion

A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
