This might sound a little far fetched, but as soon as I saw it, something in my mind says beaver. It has the right color and the humped back. It did move a little fast for a beaver.

I know beavers don't frequent fields that often but are there any bodys of water nearby?

We had a couple beavers show up at a pond near out house. We have no idea where they came from. They must have traveled from somewhere far.

The animal did resemble a coon with humped back and all. It just looked too dark to be a coon.

Fishers have a loping gait. Sorta hop as they move unlike that animal.


Very interesting though.
