This photo sequence comes from Pennsylvania, a long way from my Colorado home, but it is intriguing. The first photo is startling. Has the "creature" morphed into a bear between #1 and #3? Or was there a switch? And what is the square thing sticking up in the #3, blocking the tip of the bear cub's nose? Was it just two bears (or adult and two cubs) all along?
Could it be a mangy bear, like Terrier Man's weird mangy woodchuck?
More fun with motion-activated cameras!
UPDATE: Maybe it was indeed a mangy bear.

Perhaps they're adolescent bears? Most large animals go through a weird long-leggedy stage even if they wind up built blocky as adults. The cubs could just be half-crouching enough to make their proportions seem different in the last shot?
The blocky black thing in the first two photos does not look at all like a bear cub when you enlarge the photos. I do not know what it is.
The blocky thing looks like a Pelican camera case--one of the larger models, maybe. I think I'd get pretty excited if I found that long legged hairy thing on one of my own camera traps. But on anyone else's camera I'm a skeptic.
And that was a chupacabra Patrick caught. Don't try to deny it
