What would you do?

You are out in the pasture and you see one of these. What is it, and what would you have done? You have a rifle in the seat beside you...

Obvious what decision was made in the photo here... bonus points to whoever correctly identifies the critter. This was taken yesterday in central Oklahoma.

Coatimundi?

chupacabra

Ding ding ding! Kudamundi... How it wound up in central Oklahoma, I have no idea. I guess they are legal to shoot, being that there is no season on them. Not that I anticipate ever coming across one.

very curious what this is. kinda looks like a badger. where at in central ok?

 

[r00s7a]

That was my first thought... but long legs, long tail, not badger-like.

It was in Garvin Co.

Wow, I've seen that kudamundi have been showing up on trail cams in south TX. They are native to central america. I would have never thought one would make it all the way up here.

Some people keep the Coati mundi as a pet. That may be how he got to your location.
Somebody got the "free Willy" syndrome.
