Spending time outside in nature has its perks, and wildlife encounters can certainly be one of them. Some visitors in the Rio Grande Valley State Park had a different kind of encounter, though, when their trail camera caught something on film that they couldn't identify. They sent the tape to the Texas Parks and Wildlife team, who then released it to the public in a popular Facebook post.
As you can imagine, the mystery creature has everyone talking. Guesses are pouring in front left and right as to what animal it is, though some of our favorite guesses are more entertaining than accurate.

It looks like a manatee with legs.

I’ve seen badgers out in the Panhandle.

Problem with the statement - the Rio Valley IS well-within the natural range for the badger... they just aren’t seen frequently because they are primarily nocturnal.

Whoever posted that there aren't badgers in Texas probably lives in downtown Houston.
Looks to me like that covers the Rio Grande Valley to me but I live in CO so ...

Javelina or a feral hog at a weird angle. Foraging on the ground, small ears, elongated body. Whiteness around neck inclines more with the javelina.

Nothing in pic to get scale — but it looks like a fat nutria to me. They’re invasive in Texas, and I’ve seen several near lakes and ponds in the hill country.
