Capybaras are cute. But that's a muntjac. Drive up to Norfolk maybe 5 times a year to visit a friend. It's a surprise if I don't see a couple of live ones and about 10 roadkill.
100% Muntjac. Got them round here in Lancashire now - seen them a few times out riding my bike at dusk. They're weird looking - not like you'd expect a deer to look at all - and their call is more like a dog's bark.
What the hell is a Muntjac?
A complete irrelevance.
This is a really weird hill for you to die on
I know, but I'm very fussy about about my Muntjac observations and I know when something isn't one.
It's a Muntjac. It is 100% a Muntjac. Jesus wept.
That's right it's a muntjac, a muntjac that's been forced through a plastic extrusion machine so that its head is twice the usual length. Glad we settled that.
The film is deliberately shot out of focus and at dusk specifically to get people talking. Mission accomplished

I love the way people can be so 100% categoric about a poor and grainy image shot from a long distance. "It 100% is" / "it 100% isn't".
Bit like that time someone was adamant they'd diagnosed Lyle Taylor's injury based entirely on the way he was sitting on a bench in one single picture of him waiting for a train. We are blessed with such a range of experts.

Haven't seen one for a few weeks - this one was foraging well away from the woods in broad daylight as well. Couldn't get a picture cos I was on the bike - though if I had been able to, I'd have made sure it was blurry and out of focus... 😏
I saw the original post on the SE9 Facebook a weeks ago. Someone in the comments said it was a fox with mange and they had seen it in that area a lot. It was in a bad way.

Ever the gentleman Leroy, and I'm sure the lucky lady appreciated your full attention.

Did anyone else in the comments say it was a Muntjac 😉

Or perhaps it's a badger with very long legs?
it looks like one and behaves like one, in a location where there are plenty.
it’s not a wild escaped animal or a computer generated image (unless someone is very very very sad and bored).
No, on refelction, deffo Capybara
