The cameras were set up in an area of Celebration Park, according to the department’s Facebook.

For three nights they captured images of skunks, coyotes and the occasional jokester dressed as a gorilla, a monster and Jolly Old St. Nick, according to FOX6Now.com.

Cpl. Robert Huff told FOX that the photos were “pretty comical” and “creative.”

The pranksters have not revealed themselves, but the officers thank them for the laugh.

“We would like to sincerely thank the persons responsible, as it made our day when we pulled up what we expected to be hundreds of pictures of coyotes, foxes and raccoons,” the department wrote on Facebook. “Thank you to the citizens who noticed the cameras. Your effort and sense of humor are greatly appreciated.”
