RingTail Cat Trapped

The Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a mammal of the raccoon family (thus not actually a cat), native to arid regions of North America. It is also known as the ringtail cat, ring-tailed cat or miner's cat. It is easy to domesticate, thus some people make them pets.

This ring tailed cat was caught in one of our traps during our three day trapping episode. We caught many smaller rodents in small mammal traps as well.
