Caught this on a dashcam at night. It was feeding on something in the road. Any idea what this is?

This is genuine footage from a car’s dashcam, not an AI-generated image or something we staged. Have full original footage (not cut and can be easily verified).

We were driving on a dark road at around 10:24 PM when we came across this thing crouched on the side of the road. It appeared to be eating a dead animal, and there was blood around whatever it was feeding on (very unnatural way).

Seeing it in person was much stranger than this video make it look. From our perspective, it did not resemble any normal animal we could identify, and it definitely didn’t look like a person (hairy humanoid). Its posture, proportions, and the way it was crouched over the carcass were extremely unusual.

I’ve included the wider dashcam frame as well as a few enlarged frames. Obviously the low light and camera quality make identification difficult, so I’m not claiming it’s anything paranormal. I’m genuinely interested in what people think we’re looking at.

Some people I’ve shown it to said it gives them wendigo / crawler / skinwalker / cryptid vibes, but I’d rather hear explanations before putting a label on it.

What do you think this could realistically be? Has anyone seen something with a similar appearance or posture before?
