Video: Mysterious creature terrifies residents of US state

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - A video clip showing a mysterious creature roaming in a park in West Virginia, USA, has aroused the curiosity of local residents and animal experts alike.</p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Woman documenting the scene</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Brittany Keller, an American woman, said she saw the strange creature while driving to work on October 24. Her attention was drawn to an unusual animal with dark fur and a long, sloping tail, which was close to a group of deer in Ritter Park in Huntington, the state&#39;s second-largest city. Keller told the media:</p><blockquote style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> “When I stopped to look at it closely, I realized I had never seen anything like it in this area before.” </p></blockquote><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="498" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6iKY7PyVmiM" title="Mystery animal in Ritter Park" width="885"></iframe></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Mysterious creature raises questions</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The video Keller captured showed a brown and white creature scurrying through the park. When Keller and the TV station asked locals what the animal was, their responses were filled with confusion.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Keller posted the video on social media, and some people thought the creature might be a lemur. However, Andy McKee of the Zoological Center dismissed that theory, saying lemurs only live in Madagascar, about 9,000 miles from West Virginia, unless the creature was a lost pet.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Expert Opinion: Fox Has Mange?</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Mackey explained that the creature looked more like a fox with mange or some kind of skin disease than a lemur. He added that mange, an infectious disease, causes hair loss in furry animals, which could explain the creature&#39;s strange appearance.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%82%D9%84%...
