Texas state park officials may have figured out what kind of “mystery creature” was spotted lurking around at night in the Rio Grande Valley area.
After an image of the creature captured some attention on social media last week, officials with Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Mission, Texas, said they agree with some of the online guesses on what it is.
“We agree with most of the comments that this is very likely an American Badger ,” the park said in a statement. The creature on camera appeared to have four legs and a rotund-like body shape. The image was captured on a trail camera and was donated to the park by a visitor, officials said.“While American Badgers are not commonly seen in the valley , this is part of their natural range,” the park said in a statement.
