    That's a bandersnatch.

    Movement doesn't look quite right for a fox.

    @Thargor. Do you have the original 4k footage before uploading it to YouTube? YouTube messes with it, so it'd be nice to see the unmodified footage from the period when the animal is in picture.

    I agree, the most likely culprit is a fox, and I think it's the shadow that's making the tail look longer and confusing people.

    I don't know if you're ever going to get a definitive answer, I still think it's a stout/weasel type thing. Just from the movement and the tail.

    I know, I find all the people identifying it as a hare in both threads completely amazing though, its so obviously not, the neck, the gait, the tail, the head, basically everything. They must be viewing it on a phone or something.

    The problem I have is that a fox is the only thing I can think of that fits the size, but it moves more like a cat. I'm guessing something weaselly, but they're still a bit on the small size for this.
