"First Round-Up" question

[bwsmith]

The first mysterious creature in the dark turns out to be Buckwheat, but a second creature comes by and it is never disclosed what it is (and then the story shifts to something else).

Is this the way the film was supposed to flow, or does the Cabin Fever version have some missing footage?

Are we supposed to assume that it's the skunk that was scaring Pete earlier?

I think, and it's only a theory, that we, like the kids, are just supposed to wonder what it is if it isn't Buckwheat. Get it, sort of? It's kind of funny!
