First time commenter, long time reader. I'm disappointed that anyone in the media/Comms world associated with a zoo (ostensibly a pro-reality outpost in this zany world) with a sincere wish to ID what's in that photo would release a photo like this. The lack of comparison shots from the day, or additional shots from that night's collection is negligence.

Like you, I'm charitably assuming this to be a natural image of something made confusing by the nature of the camera properties. Without more details it's really impossible to say much with any degree of certainty. I've seen so many weird shots from these kinds of cameras that they ought to all be viewed with a degree of skepticism if they appear to show something paranormal or cryptozoological.

I'd say let people have fun but for every person mocking a piece of toast with a figure on it, there's a grifter collecting donations for the holy image of the virgin mother. This stuff is sadly not harmless.

The bird box on the pole is probably about 1 foot tall, so the image is about 3 feet from top to bottom. The Spy Point Link Micro S-LTE specs say it takes 2 photos per detection. My guess is that this is smallish animal (jackrabbit?) caught in mid-jump.
