Michael Kashuba – director of Parks and Recreation with the City of Amarillo – asked for the public’s assistance in identifying the haunting object.

“We’d love to hear feedback from the community on what they think it might be,” Kashuba said. “It’s a very unique picture, and we’re excited to see what the community thinks. The photo is absolutely real.”

A Twitter user made a South Park reference, “ManBearPig.”

Another guessed, “Wile E. Coyote.”

Someone stated, “UAO – Unidentified Amarillo Object.”

One man joked, “That there is my first wife.”

Another man quipped, “It’s my mother-in-law.”

Another hypothesized, “It’s just a furry trying to take their game to the next level!”

A Twitter user proclaimed, “Maybe Rocket Raccoon from the Guardians of the Galaxy.”
