Caitlin Estrella was awake in the middle of the night comforting her daughter after a nightmare when she got an phone alert from her home security camera: animal detected.
“I couldn’t even comprehend what I was looking at,” Estrella said. “It was so wild.

On Tuesday, Estrella quickly woke her husband, who asked if she was sure it was not just a large dog. She showed him the camera footage and he was “floored,” she said.
