Eyes in the dark

    Hi, how to deal with a pair of eyes in the dark?
    It is a pair, as you can see by stretching the image in your favorite image processing software.

    You guess, that's all you can do, but you can deduce some facts. If both eyes are same animal, they are quite far apart, and well above ground, so animal is big and possibly dark as you can see no detail. My call would be buffalo. Others may guess elephant, lion, etc. There will be a confused scatter of ID's and the conclusion will be, we can't really be sure about this one. No matter. But if there's an animal there you have to make a guess, however flimsy, because that's how this whole crowdsource thing works.
