A man was shocked to find CCTV footage of a mysterious animal walking across his driveway around 2am.

The image shows the animal, which has four legs and a long tail that extends backwards and meets the ground.

The tail is what makes this creature difficult to identify, as the body of the animal resembles a dog-like creature.

The unknown creature was spotted walking across the man's driveway at 2am

The man posted the image to Imgur, asking members of the website if they knew what it could be.

Some people commented on the image, stating they believe the animal to be a Chupacabra.

A Chupacabra is a legendary folklore creature originating in Latin America.

Others believed it was a Tasmanian Tiger, otherwise known as a Thylacine, an animal that has been extinct for over 80 years.

The Tasmanian Tiger was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times and has been extinct for more than 80 years

While the animal probably isn't a blood-sucking mythical creature, there's still no explanation as to what it is.
