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

Not tryin’ to be smart - jest helpful...
They’re Coatimundi...I’ve heard them called CO’-teez snd Co-AH’-teez.
Thanks, I admitted earlier that I didn’t know how to spell it but phonics is your friend.
Ping!
Nice sequence, especially the last shot...
How right you are. Only ones I’ve seen were fairly high up in the Huachuca Mountains here on the Az/Mexico border - around 7000’ or so. They traveled in a troop; with their tails up, my brother swore he was watching monkeys!
We had a friendly one down in Bonnie Blink some years back. Amazing monkey tail they have!
They fried themselves with great regularity at the high voltage tower on Scott Peak until insulators were installed.
Thnx for the ping(s)!
Hey - you’re both smart AND helpful! Thanks! And I didn’t realize bobcat got that big.
LOL!!! Some animals aren’t all that smart.
Bonnie Blink?! I lived at what used to be 113 Burt Rd. They changed the addresses when they rebuilt all the housing up there.
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
When we lived in West Texas, during bad drought years we would have rattlesnakes following their prey into town. It was not uncommon to hear of someone finding a rattler on their back patio near dog bowls. I guess the field mice were heading toward food/water and the snakes naturally followed.
Any idea of the location, more precise than South Texas, which is a pretty big area?
LOL! Our Chihuahua looks just like that when she’s pissed.
That last one could have been a coyote all right. Not the four-legged kind.
Me too....what the heck is that, it looks awful big to be a badger...
too bad that cougar/mountain lion, was not hanging around when the last picture was taken......
