Take this case for example.
Not so long ago, an incredibly strange and mysterious creature was caught on a zoo’s surveillance camera walking on two legs just behind a metal fencing.

Last summer, the city of Amarillo had asked the public for help in identifying the odd-looking creature in the footage from Amarillo Zoo was. Security cameras filmed it lurking around the perimeter fence in the early hours of May 21.
Footage of the so-called animal quickly went viral on social media and was even shown on several news stations around the world. But neither the zoo staff nor the city officials had any other information about the strange-looking thing.
Amarillo Zoo first posted about the sighting on Twitter last June. Once the photos went viral, many suggested the creature was ‘a person in a furry suit’. Then there were some pop-culture influenced suggestions too. Fans of Stranger Things said the creature looked like a Demogorgon from the first season.
Others suggested it might be a Chupacabra, a legendary creature in the folklore of parts of the Americas, with its first purported sightings reported in Puerto Rico in 1995.
While the identity of the creature is still unknown, it went on to be referred as an ‘Unidentified Amarillo Object’ or UAO.
“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,” Michael Kashuba, director of Parks and Recreation with the City of Amarillo, told News Channel 10.
