Never know what one will come across in Texas!
Anyone have an idea what this weird critter is? I'll help you out a bit..... it's no cat, dog, raccoon, possum, nor badger!
And no..... it's NOT a chuppacabra! :alscalls:
I will also speculate that the critter in question normally doesn't have a "bob-tail".
I think something at one time (another animal or snare/trap) may have tried to capture it..... and all they got was it's tail! :biggrin:

Never seen one in person so I'm not sure is it a Wolverine ? :confused: cc
Not a wolverine. They're not indigenous to Texas.
These critters are becoming more prevalent as well..... :innocentwhistle:

Coatis?

Yeah that's a Coatis & it lost it's tail somewhere along the line. :sad:
Looks like a Coatimundi (spelling?) I carved one on a call one time for a fellow in Arizona.
"tejones" Coatimundi, Mexican badgers ,Spanish badger ,
that is a good size one, i do think he is missing little of his tail
"Winner, Winner, chicken dinner!" Coati Mundi I believe it is.
You guys are good! Thought it take awhile.
Never seen one of them critters either, did not know there were even in the states anywhere. :laf: :laf: cc
late on seeing this but definite a white nose coati mundi indigenous to south america. ddint know u had em in texas but researched nd they have been brought in. thought u were pullling our leg and some one sent u pic from south america. liek the pen raised deer . u tricky like that

I am not as sure about that species, but it looks like Hunchback Water Stealers. I believe that they are native to Mexico, but have become a problem in the US as well.

I haven't seen a ring tail cat myself for at least three years. :confused:
There is a place out in the Hill Country that use to have a good population. The last few times I was out there (3 years ago or so) we struck out. Maybe we decimated the population! :laf:

If you find yourself in the S.A. area, I'm sure I could rustle you up a chicken dinner or a meal just as good if not better. :wink:

Be careful, I could end up in your area this winter.
