This just came through a little but ago. Without the tail, its got me stumped. Northeast Indiana, so I am leaning toward big fox or small coyote. I assume the face shape is because of angle, at first I thought it was a possum when I glanced at the face. Im definitely saying canine. Otter and beaver from the same camera for size comparison.

It could be a domestic dog I suppose. Unusual for this location, but possible. Mange did cross my mind also. Its an odd one. My vote is coyote, but I definitely am not sure of that.

Coyossum. If it turns out to be a previously unknown species thats what we should name it.

It’s a dog of some sort, probably a mutt. If you just look at the face it has a terrier look to it almost.

It looks like a large, wet opossum.

The guard hair is plastered down to the body from the water, exposing the legs. The head is very marsupial looking.

The first one almost looks plantigrade like a coon/bear/humans/mustelids. The other two are quite obvious.

Way to much daylight between belly and ground to be an opossum, my opinion anyways.
