Badger badger badger (snake?)


Anyone have any idea what this animal is?  I saw him in a park in St. Louis, Missouri, and I’ve been wondering ever since.  And since his home sort of complements my new blog colors, I figured it was high time to feature him here. :-D

  1. Woodchuck is my guess. Do you have any other pictures of it? Sort of a tricky angle on this one, for identification.

  2. Just one other photo... but not a particularly good one :|

    However, in the link above, you can see a bit of a claw… not sure if that helps.

  3. Looks like a muskrat to me.  My parents have a pond on their property, and we get a lot of ‘em. :-)

  4. Crystal is right, It’s look like a Muskarat,
    Still if you can see it’s also look like as wild mice too.
