Somewhere in the wilds of Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Mission, Texas, lurks an animal that left rangers scratching their heads.

“Captured on game camera – a mystery animal lurking 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 on Facebook alongside the photo.
