March 16 (UPI) -- A mystery creature that repeatedly triggered a Florida man's home security camera was mistaken for a human hand and an octopus before being identified as a Cuban tree frog.
Dean Gordon said he was asleep at his Lehigh Acres home when he received an alert from his home security camera at 1:40 a.m. Sunday.
Gordon said he checked the camera footage on his phone and was not sure of what he was seeing in the back yard.
"I thought it was a human hand and I was like, 'Hold on. Let me watch it again,'" Gordon told WBBH-TV. "Then I said, 'That looks like an octopus.'"
