The fact only one image has been posted leads me to think that any others from the same camera showed up the 'figure' as something mundane.
Except the back knees are wrong. They look as if they bend the same way as human (or elephant) back legs. Genuine dogman or werewolf or a chap (or an elephant ) in a suit.Mr. R said it looks like a wolf or some type of dog standing on his hind legs.
I see a tail as well.
All I can see is a person wearing a heavy rucksack that sticks up over the back of their neck, being forced to walk a bit crouched by the weight. I think he's wearing an ordinary trilby style hat, and there are things hanging off the rucksack that give the illusion of a tail. As it seems to be walking exactly like a human, albeit a bit crouched, I would say that's exactly what it is. Of course, once they put the words 'strange image' 'unidentified' and 'chupacabra' in the post, that is precisely what everyone will see, suggestibility being what it is.
Amarillo zoo is not that far (by USA standards) from Paris, Tennessee which will host the first annual Dogman/Cryptid Conference in August ...
So pixellated as to be almost more of a design than a picture - but it just looks like he's carrying a carrier bag.Looks like it is looking at the camera. Is it carrying something in the left hand? Is it someone in a furry costume?

There is a LOT of pareidolia going on with that blown-up image.Might it be a native American dressed as a shaman or dog soldier?
Amarillo - mostly Sioux, Cherokee or Iroquois. Those pictures I posted were Sioux dog soldiers.There is a LOT of pareidolia going on with that blown-up image.
Mythopoeika's suggestion comes close to one interpretation I have: someone standing - or tipping over - with some sort of animal skin on him, possibly with the animal's still-attached head worn on top of his own head. My knowledge of native American dress and customs is weak; do either Mythopoeika's images or my interpretation match a known practice of any native groups in the Amarillo area?
What are these cameras like for capturing movement? Because I think what I thought was something hanging down is just an arm, moving If these cameras typically capture movement as a 'blurred' effect, then it could just be someone carrying something on their back and moving, so their head is blurred, as are their limbs. The legs seem fairly sharp, so maybe they are walking slowly whilst arms and head are moving more quickly - as might happen if they are looking around?
