Can anyone identify this?

My cousin's family spotted this animal while driving in the country.

Thanks for the picture, Paulina.

I'm not sure, because the animal is so far away, but if I had to take a guess, I'd say it was a Red Fox.

It looks like the animal is facing to the right and has a black tip on it's tail.

I'm not sure though ..... readers, what do you think?

On Lake Huron beach my husband and I both saw a red haired animal shaped like a hyena... Long legs. Humped up back ... Did not look like a fox ... unless it had SERIOUS case of mange.

Groundhog or Beavers or maybe Capybara.
