I am not far from there. Alot of black bears towards Texaco land but some have seen black panthers. Especially where I hunt in Broyles Chapel area, but considering the mass of this I say it is a black bear.

I’m guessing a jaguar. They are occasionally photographed by game cameras in Texas. They’re just moving back up from Mexico into areas they once lived.

Looks like a wild boar. You can clearly see the ears and what appears to be tusk down toward end of snout.

I think the shadows of the sticks (?) or whatever is on the ground behind the head may be causing the view to be distorted such that the head could seem convincingly similar to a bear, when in fact, this could very well just be a dog turning his head slightly away from the camera. I live in Texas, am a native, and I have never seen or heard of bear in or near Palestine. I've seen my own dog, drop her head in such a position. I have seen cougar prints (in the mud) just outside Jacksonville, which is only about 25 - 30 miles away from Palestine. I would lay my money on dog, coyote or cougar, but a bear? very unlikely.

These are always fun. I say manbearpig! Just kidding, but it could however be a bear or a hog for that matter, just too hard to tell. I don’t see cat at all.

Jaguar? Pretty sure they were found in Arizona not long ago.

Doesn’t a bear have rounded ears? Whatever that is it looks like it has pointed ears.

Definitely a black bear!
