I spotted a mystery while checking the trail cams today!
Watch closely, behind the deer.
We have a mystery critter!
It’s too big to be a squirrel, and squirrels are not out at night, anyhow. It seems too small to be a raccoon or a skunk. Those are large enough that they would be identifiable, even with the infrared flash.
About the only thing we are pretty sure of is, it’s likely a rodent of some kind. :-D
Any guesses?

Possum? They are night critters and move quickly.

We don’t have possums here. I think it might be a gopher. We do have those, though not many in our area compared to others.
It’s really hard to tell when all there is to go by, is a glowing set of eyes. LOL

Man. I thought possums were everywhere.

Could be a skunk. It did kind of move like one, when they’re actually in a hurry, LOL.

Possible, but I think, with a skunk, the infrared flash would have picked up at least the white stripe, if not the darker body. But there’s really nothing but a moving set of glowing eyes, so there’s not much to go on! LOL

Actually, looking at it again (multiple times) I’m thinking rabbit. It has kind of a bounding movement and I didn’t really see any kind of long tail.

That’s a possibility. We have jackrabbits in the area. They can move very much like cats. I’ve never seen them here, but in the city we moved from, they were everywhere, and I saw them often. The size would be about right, too.
