I’ve seen one here, in AZ. Used to work with a guy that kept one as a pet. They look like a lot of fun.

I called one in while daytime yote calling about ten years ago in Bee county. It really freaked me out! Came running into the call and I had not clue what it was. I hopped up and ran it off. Apparently they like the cottontail duet played on an old Burnham Brothers Compucaller 2. Those are great pics you got there!

Are they good to eat?

That might be an escaped pet. I have mucho experience with coatis. They generally don't invade inhabited areas and play with soccer balls unless they're familiar with that activity. Somebody is probably missing that little dude right now. I'll be happy to take him if y'all catch him.

That’s a cool critter

I know some people that lived on acreage in the vicinity of this "country" subdivision. Although they referred to them as meerkats, they would occasionally see them from time to time. As hard as it is to believe, there may be a small population of them out there.

From what I understand, the one pictured is a juvenile. Hasn't developed strips on the tail yet.

Similar thoughts. Might let local Animal Control know as well.

Heck no, that'd be like telling them you have Golden Cheek Warblers on your property. Then the well meaning "authorities" get to tell you what to do with your own property. Last thing I would do.

Awesome!

Re: What?????????? - 05/18/20 03:56 PM

Is it native? or invasive/someones released exotic pet?

From before - "I know some people that lived on acreage in the vicinity of this "country" subdivision. Although they referred to them as meerkats, they would occasionally see them from time to time. As hard as it is to believe, there may be a small population of them out there."

These are native to deep South Texas and more common in Mexico.

Cats out of the bag, THF is monitored highly be TPWD, it’s easy pickings as far as limits, AR’s, Cites tags etc.

with that said it’s just a Coatimundi,

We have those signs on the transmission lines that run across the deer lease. I finally saw the Golden Cheek Warbler one day. It was laying dead under one of the power poles.

Re: What?????????? - 05/18/20 06:35 PM

many ears ago, someone now deceased told me, "We don't have any Warblers on our property. I shoot everyone I see." Truth of the matter is he didn't even know what one looked like.

They definitely go farther north than most people think. I saw one a couple of different times in Scurry county. Had no idea what it was the first time I saw one. Had to look it up.
