Officials in Texas are appealing for help in identifying a strange and mysterious creature caught on a zoo’s surveillance camera.
The mysterious figure has been identified as an ‘Unidentified Amarillo Object’ or UAO, though that brings us no closer to working out what this freak of nature actually is.

The city of Amarillo is appealing for help from anyone who can tell them what the mysterious creature caught on camera at Amarillo Zoo is.
According to News Channel 10, security cameras at the zoo spotted the figure prowling around inside a perimeter fence at 1:25am on 21 May
Zoo staff spotted the strange picture when they were going through images taken by their security cameras and they have absolutely no idea what the creature was.

As a matter of fact, neither do city officials who have thrown the mystery out to the public partly in hopes of getting closer to the truth and partly so everyone can have fun guessing what the thing might be.
The suggestions have been coming in thick and fast, though it’s clear nobody really has any idea what this weird creature is and everyone’s decided to have a bit of a laugh with it.
One of the most popular suggestions was ‘a person in a furry suit’ as many wrote in, though it begs the question how they got inside the zoo during the middle of the night and what they were doing there. Others suggested it might be the legendary American creature the Chupacabra, an animal said to prowl around and drink the blood of other animals at night.“We just want to let the Amarillo community have some fun with this,” Kashuba said in a statement.
“It is important to note that this entity was outside the Amarillo Zoo. There were no signs of attempted entry into the zoo. No animals or individuals were harmed. There were no signs of criminal activity or vandalism.
Right now, the creature is being referred to as an ‘Unidentified Amarillo Object’ or UAO, though that brings us no closer to working out what this freak of nature actually is.
Michael Kashuba, director of Parks and Recreation with the City of Amarillo, said to News Channel 10: “We’d love to hear feedback from the community on what they think it might be. It’s a very unique picture, and we’re excited to see what the community thinks. The photo is absolutely real.”
