An unrecognizable animal was spotted walking on a wooden fence in New Jersey and the photo has made its way to Reddit.com where readers are speculating on exactly what the strange-looking animal could be.

The black-skinned animal with long toes, a long snout and extremely long tail is pictured on top of a fence, facing away from the camera.

The image was posted on Reddit and has over 600 comments on it but the website, known recently for their detective skills, seem stumped by the picture and have been unable to identify just what it is yet. Being the fortean lover that I am, i hope it remains that way and we have a genuine mystery on our hands.

Wow!! I have seen programs about the Jersey devil and the photos did look like that! Except in some pics it had wings! But that looks to me that it may be a dog also! Interesting pic!

But then again I have never seen a dog with paws like that!! Lol, I wonder about the authenticity of the
Photograph. Looks real..lol

Mystery solved.

Its a hairless squirrel.

The real mystery is who is shaving the squirrels?

head look like bunny shape well when i was 20 stay in spain saw some dark fig in bed room lights on spos wired stuff does go on

wouldn't you like to know!

I just can't trust any photos now days with the stuff people are able to create on their home computers.

That doesn't look anything like any of the descriptions I've read/heard about of the Jersey Devil.

Lastly, I wish we would get a decent movie made about it, so far all the ones I've seen have been crap.

the government is covering it up... squirrels tails are shorter and are always up and curved at the end... that looks like a lizards tail...

It's one of those evil Reptilian Younguns,just ask Brother Davey,he'll tell you!

"It was said that Mother Leeds had 12 children and, after finding she was pregnant for the 13th time, stated that this one would be the Devil. In 1735, Mother Leeds was in labor on a stormy night. Gathered around her were her friends. Mother Leeds was supposedly a witch and the child's father was the Devil himself. The child was born normal, but then changed form. It changed from a normal baby to a creature with hooves, a goat's head, bat wings and a forked tail. It growled and screamed, then killed the midwife before flying up the chimney. It circled the villages and headed toward the pines. In 1740 a clergy exorcised the demon for 100 years and it wasn't seen again until 1890."

Every description I've read about, or heard has been it has wings.

the wings fall off every spring, and grow back just before winter...

hold on,they are Reptilians,not Moose!

Its a squirrel duh. I never knew they were such creepy creatures without their fur.

Cats are pretty funny looking with no fur too.

Tastes like chicken.

That's a pretty big a$$ squirrel...

Probably on Steroids!
