People baffled after spotting mysterious 'werewolf' creature in zoo footage

People have been left baffled after spotting a mysterious ' werewolf ' creature in a zoo's CCTV footage - and no one knows what it is.

A groundskeeper at Amarillo Zoo said that he spotted the creature on a security camera when he was working in the early hours of the morning.

He shared the image online to see if anyone else could recognise the creature, that looked to stand on its hind legs yet had a dog-like face, as the Daily Star reports.

Soon he was inundated with comments but so far no one has been able to identify what the creature spotted in Texas is, but one said they thought it was a werewolf.

Could this be a real-life werewolf? (reddit.com/user/Segu1n)

What do you think the creature is? Let us know in the comments...

One person responded: “I see pointy ears, long snout, what appears to be a tail, and what looks like a bunch of fur sticking out the back of its neck. I’d say, Werewolf.”

Whilst someone else agreed and posted: “Good photo of a possible werewolf is my take on it… it looks like sharp long ears, very straight legs with funny feet, arms extended, and tail. The face has a muzzle look, with sideburns.”

But not everyone agreed the photo was proof of a half-human mystical being and some people accused the poster of photoshopping the image.

Others said it could be someone in fancy dress whilst one joked: “Breaking news, Fantastic Mr. Fox cited for indecent exposure and public intoxication at the zoo this weekend.”

Someone else suggested it could actually just be a racoon and wrote: “You are all wrong if you said anything but RACOON!

“My son has pictures of them on his phone standing up on hind legs looking at us on our front and back porches. End of story!”
