Default Critter Question.......
I don't know what the heck it is, but it's living under the shrubs on my lawn! It's the size of a big groundhog, but slimmer and dark brown with a little white face, and runs like hell!

We thought they were racoons but after leaving sardines in a coon trap, we got nothing. Then I saw it today and it's not a coon. We think there are a family of them around, and want to relocate them before they make winter nests in the attic or garage.

What say you , Oh learned ones?

Definitely not a ringtail, no ringed tail!. It's got to be native to the top part of North America. We don't have opossums up here, and it's longer than one of those. Too big to be a weasel. A badger is shaped like a skunk right? It's got me stumped for sure....I might call a guy I know who's in the pest control biz. We call him "Ricky Rat Bait"

Is it about 20 pounds? Dark brown with a whitish face and black eyes? Runs like the wind? Then I don't know what it is....

Yep! It's an Okapi...No, a Coati. Maybe a Dingo, but you're a little North for them. Anybody seen any kangaroos around there lately? They're fast....

So it's a brown animal in white face--that's racist.

Damn right it is! This has been nothing more than an elaborate hoax by the OP to conceal his anti-Chik-fil-A bias! Why can't there be tolerance in the U.S. of A.? You damned gay bashers should be executed and then made to work at...what's a gay bar?
