what did my trail cam photograph?

Just to clear any possible confusion, the pictures in the second post are definitely a fox. I posted them so you can see comparative sizes, the camera hasn't been moved so all 4 pictures are in the same exact place. The first 2 here are definitely not a fox, unless I have red and silver foxes both living in this area.

I've had this trail cam set up toward the back of my property. I have 2 acres that back up to a large, 20 or 30 acre densly wooded forest with a stream and swamp in the middle. I've had fox, racoon, deer, and coyote all get their pictures taken multiple times but this thing only showed up this one night. Any ideas what it is? Not a fox, I've some ideas but don't want to say anything until I hear some unbiased opinions.

 

Here's a fox for comparison.

 

a small bear?

 

Chupacabra?

 

chupacab.....never mind. your guess is as good as mine

 

Looks like a weasel or some sort of ferret. Weird wide furry tail that tapers. Really weird.

 

Is it too big to be a badger?

 

Beaver

 

That's a fox.

 

Nevermind I was looking at pics of a fox.

 

Kinda wana say otter, but it don't look long anough, and the hair looks to long.

 

I mean its hard to tell bc the pic is black and white but i would say some kind of weasel thats starting to grow back its spring fur?

 

Fisher maybe?

 

I was kinda thinking that too, but we don't have them down here so I cant tell.

 

Hahahah third photo looked like a mini donkey then the ears kind of killed it but still I'm saying mini donkey hah

 

X2 Beaver

 

...platypus

 

Looks like a furry ass fox. At first thought wolverine but didn't think they were that far south. Maybe a fisher but I don't know enough about them to know.

 

Have you guys goggled a beaver? Those ears kill it

 

Ha y'all were faster typing than me lol
