Take a look at what shows up at a stock tank in dry weather.
For those of you that have never hunted in South Texas, sometimes they post motion detector cameras at their feeders/tanks to see what is going on.
Check out this sequence at a water tank

I knew hogs wasn’t quite right - thanks. And the Coti Munde - cool. And okay - we have Red Fox in my neck of the woods - so a Gray Fox? (That IS a bushy tail!).
For the spotted cat? I looked up on google and see they have Ocelots in Texas, but that didn’t look quite right.
Quite the variety of animals down there.

We call them Bobcats and I am not sure I spelled Coti Munde correctly. I didn't take the time to look them up. I am not sure which fox is pictured. We have a “game cam” at our family lease in south Texas and have caught all these same visitors, including the humans.

I am not sure I spelled Coti Munde correctly.It's Coati, and most folks including me would call the Coatimundi, but when I wiki'ed them, it said that the term was used for males. We always called them ringtails.
I'm not sure what that bob-tailed critter is in the next to last shot.

I thought ringrails were the little squirrel sized nocturnal creature with the eye that shines so bright and the long tail with rings around it?

We call them BobcatsI know folks call them that because they are small cats. But bobcats are a completely different species than the Ocelot.

You are correct re ringtails. We have property halfway between Dallas and Houston, and I was always told that certain scat was from ringtail, but you never saw one as they were nocturnal. Then one day I was driving up around the Frio and a coati ran out into the road with that big long ringed tail up in the air. I damn near hit it. I (mistakenly) put the two together, I see. Thanks for the correction. Do you know what that is in the next to last picture?

I think it is a Coati maybe the same Coati as in the other picture since they were taken 10 minutes a part. When you saw the ringtail did you see the big shiny eye? We had a place near Tarpley in the Texas hill country and that is the only place I ever saw a ringtail. We just came back down I-45 from Oklahoma to Houston today and the wild flowers were fabulous. Are you in Texas now? If you aren't you should be.

7th generation Texan. Moved for work in the late 80's and haven't managed to find my way back yet. I come back to visit every chance I get though.
Funny story about Texas critters: I had brought my now ex-wife (blonde) on her first visit to the Hill Country. I told her about some of the fauna of the area, like armadillos and roadrunners. Somewhere between Luckenbach and Fredricksburg, she looks out the window and exclaims "look! roadrunners!!"
I looked...
and spewed beer all over the windshield
It was an ostrich farm, and there were two ostriches running across the pasture.
her defense? they look just like the ones the coyote chases in the cartoons. she did have a point.

the critter in the road was a coati, I’m pretty sure. It appears the ringtails are much smaller. I’m not there now, so please don’t rub it in. There is nowhere more pretty than spring in the hill country.

For the spotted cat? I looked up on google and see they have Ocelots in Texas, but that didnt look quite right.We sure don't have any here in MN, so I had to look up ocelot on google too. Looks to me like they have longer tails so that isn't it. Bobcat range extends well into Mexico, and that would have been my first thought when I looked at it anyway. Based on the tail and body shape, I'd guess the next to last picture is a bobcat as well.

I went back and looked and the pictures were taken one minute apart not 10 minutes like I said, so it is the same Coati Munde.
