    Based on the height of the animal I'd go with Thomson's.

    Areinders - interesting reply - how do you know what height the camera is set, are they all the same height? This info would help with other mystery animals.

    I don't now how to post a link, but if you dig into discussion boards - help - faq - sizes of animals there is some very useful data.

    The cameras are all set, I believe, at 1 metre

    Yup, I set all the cameras so that the bottom of the camera was just little above knee level. Sometimes higher, depending on the tree or the grass.
