Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Wildlife experts said a mystery animal caught on camera in northeast Kansas is not a bear -- but they disagree about what it might actually be.
A Shawnee Heights resident captured a photo of an animal spotted in their driveway Saturday and, after consulting Google Images, suspected it might be a black bear.
Tracey Henderson, the northern carnivore keeper at the Topeka Zoo, told WIBW-TV the chances of a bear being in northeast Kansas are "almost zero."
"I'm leaning more towards coyote," Henderson said. "I could see more understandably by the Colorado border, but I would say absolutely not."
Dennis Dinwiddie, the zoo's conservation director, agreed the animal in the photo is not a bear.
