Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

I'd have said 'gator if it weren't for the ears on the head-on shot at :24.

Looks like a tapir to me.

Keep the Shiny side up

Looks like a wet possum to me.

America loves a winner!

Wet possum is my guess as well.

Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

These are all good answers, but I am going to go with the Hialeah standby and say 'Chupacabra.'

Must be a baby chupacabra then. Doesn't have its wings yet.

And that far north ? More proof of global warming, obviously.

I'll go with tapir, too, which never occurred to me because they don't live there--but an escapee from a zoo or something? Raccoons never achieve that kind of size out here, anyway, and the fur is wrong for a bandit. I'd have guessed nutria, but they don't grow past two feet, so same argument as a 'coon. I'll vote for tapir...roughly same size, can swim, and the ears match.

As to that "chupa", it looks definitely like some kind of dog to me...those hairless things? Or a cross of something else and one of them (video at http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/weird/Chupacabras-in-Prince-Georges-
County-127783018.html). Why they let it go is beyond me; maybe they have no wildlife rehab centers there, but that's where it should have gone...it's obviously emaciated, whatever it is. Definitely looks like some kind of dog to me.

Hello,

Non-believer. You think it's a fake?

No! It's Real!
