A wild video from Mexico shows the moment when a family encountered a bizarre 'mystery creature' that left them scratching their heads. According to a local media report, the baffling incident occurred last Friday evening in the community of Santa María El Alta. While driving down a desolate dirt road, the family was understandably stunned when they stumbled upon the truly odd-looking animal standing in front of their car. Illuminating the oddity with their headlights, the witnesses wonder aloud what it could possibly be, with one observer suggesting it was a dog and another arguing that it was a jaguar. Particularly unsettling to the family was that the creature showed no sign of fear as it held their extended and increasingly bewildered gaze.
Since being posted online, the perplexing video has gone viral in Mexico, with several theories being offered for the nature of the mystifying animal. Like the family in the car, some have posited that it was a big cat or a dog. However, others have speculated that it could be a person wearing a costume, since the eerie interloper inexplicably appeared to be small and bipedal. Chillingly, the region where the encounter occurred has recently experienced strange animal slayings by an unknown predator that some now believe could have been the creature encountered by the family. To that end, what do you think they ran into last Friday evening? Share your best guess with us at the C2C Facebook page.
