Close Encounters

One of two we saw on our morning walk.

[Diana]

Such an unusual little critter, never seen one of these before.

[Merrelyn]

This is a close encounter that I'd enjoy.

[BeckyJo]

Yikes! How big?? If he doesn’t stink, I’d take him over a skunk anytime.!

[Vesna]

Unusual animal!

@ludwigsdiana @merrelyn @beckyk365 @vesna0210 they are native to here, about 10 inches long, relatively slow moving and don’t stink 😄

[BeckyJo]

Sounds perfect!

[narayani]

@beckyk365 😂

[Desi]

I guess they are harmless critters? How interesting. What are they called?

[narayani]

@seacreature if you’re stupid enough to stick your finger in the way, they can give a bite, but yes, harmless. It’s a “Bobtail”
