Help with classification

    Any clue to what this could be? I think it might be a bird.

    Hi shannon_032,

    We have warthog here, scratching head against the camera. In frame 2 and 3 we see tusk and wart. They love to use these cameras as a scratching post. There is also another warthog in background in left edge (visible in frame 3), a bit of rear and thin tail visible. 😃

    P.S. the weird 'square' seen in some images, is caused by software malfunction. More info about that in here

    Thank you for the clarification Maricksu. I do see the tusk after you pointed it out. I was initially confounded. My first thought was that the tusk could be the neck of an ostrich.
