An aggressive mystery animal is on the loose in New Hampshire, and authorities said it’s gone after multiple people in recent days.
The Lebanon Police Department said it’s still unsure exactly what the animal is, but it has reportedly displayed “unusually aggressive behavior towards people,” and at least three unprovoked attacks have been reported since August 30.
Lebanon police released video of the animal attacking two people as they got out of a U-Haul.

“Looks like a fisher”
That’s what I would have thought.
Might be a fisher cat, they are pretty nasty creatures
A Wolverine?
My money is on the Jersey Devil.
It’s likely a fisher cat. It’s not actually feline, more of a weasel on steroids with an attitude problem. Had one come up my driveway once. Fortunately I had a rake already in my hands and he left very quickly.

Northern variety
[[Looks like a coatimundi]]
That was my thought- The tail is really long, longer than fisher tail- and it is ringed- I think the coatomundi has ringed long tail-

If that's a squirrel, it's the biggest one that ever lived.
It moves like a weasel. It snatched something from the hands of Mister Ponytail -- a satchel of manpurse or something sack-like -- and pulled it to behind the rental van before it let go of it. Very un-squirrel like.
I could be wrong, but I think the guy who narrated that video is a bit light in the loafers.
Fishers are normally shy animals; very much non-aggressive. It is very likely rabid.
Color says squirrel. Kind of large for a squirrel but not unheard of size.
Not in that region of the country. Way too cold up there during the winter.
exotic escape-
post 30 shows it in the air- it ‘looks like’ the snout is long and maybe an eyepatch, though hard to tell- in the video- when it ran, it looked like the tail was striped- not sure though if that was the thing it snatched from the maN- not very clear video
I’ve heard squirrels don’t carry rabies. But insanity can be can have other causes.
does it have a Nazi tattoo?
Coatis are one of five groups of procyonids commonly kept as pets in various parts of North, Central and South America, the others being the raccoons (common and crab-eating), the kinkajou, the ring-tailed cat and cacomistle. However, while both the white-nosed and South American coatis are common in captivity, mountain coatis are extremely rare in captivity.[25][26]
Coatis are small creatures that can be wild, somewhat difficult to control or train in some cases, and generally behave in a manner radically different from that of a pet dog.[27] Optimally, they should have a spacious outdoor enclosure and a coati-proofed room in the house and/or other climate-controlled place, as well. They can be given the run of the house but need careful watching, more careful in some cases than others.[citation needed]
It is possible to litter or toilet train coatis;[28] if one cannot be trained as such, it is still possible to lessen problems in that they tend to designate a latrine area, which can have a litter pan placed in it as is done with many ferrets, pet skunks, rabbits, and rodents.[28] Coatis generally need both dog and cat vaccines for distemper and many other diseases and an inactivated rabies vaccine. They can be spayed or neutered for the same reason as cats and dogs and other pets.[citation needed] (Wikipedia)
