OK, /an/, i am not a troll, trying to gross anyone out, or some /b/tard trying to be an ass.

My dogs will kill most things that come into my backyard. This is actually good, keeps cats from defecating around, keeps birds from pooping on the deck, and most of all because i am in a not so great nieghborhood, rats.

Tonight i thought they got another rat. When i picked it up for disposal, though, it looked different. I live in Central Texas, and this did not look like a common animal, especially one that wanders into a nieghborhood plat.

What does /an/ think?

I dont think it is an alien or anything that the Priory of Sion may have bread for world domination.

Some of you all really know what you are looking at and identifying, and i am just trying to get a quick answer/theory.

I thought it did look a little like a dog, which is why i thought maybe prarie dog, which are endangered if i remember.

Anyways, its body was about eight inches long. it is sitting on the side of a white trash barrel.


Can someone post a live picture of a Fox Squirrel? I am also Googling that.

You can't be serious....dude, there's an unlimited bag and no time limit on hunting these little fuckers, ranchers slaughter them in the thousands...and they just keep coming. they're EVERYWHERE where I live, certainly not endangered

This is probably why i thought that:

The National Wildlife Federation petitioned to have the prairie dog listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act, but the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service found the species "warranted, but precluded" for listing. The status of the species will be reviewed yearly, and prairie dogs could become federally protected if conservation efforts by state and local governments are not successful.

The Girlfriend thought it might be an adolescent squirrel whose tail had not become bushy yet.

I am not ruling out the prarie dog by any means though. Fox sqirrels do run around this area, and someone else posted with a little bit of confidence that it was a fox squirrel.

Yea, that is a fox squirrel--a young one. It takes a while before their tail gets bushy.

Google image search for fox squirrel young or babies and you'll see they look just like this.

From looking at its hind legs it could be a squirrel but the head doesn't looks right nether does the tail. Though it could just be a baby one.

Not a prairie dog. Prairie dogs have very short tails and short limbs. This animal has a long tail and much longer limbs. The tail isn't bushy becasue it's not an adult yet. The tail fur is the last that grows in.

Uhm, that looks just like one to me! Keep in mind that OP is wet and dead. Look at the details: the color, the size and development of the paws & claws, the general aspect ratio of the body, etc.
