porcupine!
The

Lowell, Maine Trail Cam Captures Mysterious Creature
But what is it?
The Bangor Daily News shared an image caught on Norman Tremblay s trail camera he got for Christmas. Norman describes whatever it is as
creepy .
Norman was slightly concerned that something so creepy could live on the rural Penobscot County land he owns. And he truly has no clue what it is.
It s Norman s guess that it s a fisher (or fisher cat), according to the BDN, but it looks a bit too chubby for that. Then he thought it could be a porcupine, but there are no quills.
