Title: What animal is this?
Post by: Calendargirl on October 31, 2007, 12:28:23 am: I have asked a few of the chuckle heads ::) on this board with no real answer other than winnie the pooh :P ...and clearly by its stance and lack of pudgy tummy it is NOT Winnie the Pooh >:( despite the fact that he always enjoyed a game of Pooh Sticks whenever possible :) ...how ever it could be Eeyore ::) ...but it not any thoughts? :-\
Seen in East Texas about a week or so ago from a game camera.

Post by: Calendargirl on October 31, 2007, 12:56:45 am: maybe but could we be looking at it wrong? Could it be a hog? Here are some other shots from same camera...

Post by: deerhunter97370 on October 31, 2007, 01:00:48 am: Now it looks like a pig
Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: Calendargirl on October 31, 2007, 01:02:32 am: Justin swears it is a racoon but to me the ears are too big and snout too long. It could be just odd shading with the light and all. The piglets are cute aren't they? ;D

Post by: Coo-wah-chobee on October 31, 2007, 01:10:50 am: Its not a racoon. Seen a coupla of them down here in the swamps way back. The other pics of hawgs are different animals......bob

Post by: Pat B on October 31, 2007, 01:14:45 am: I was thinking coon or quadi-whatyacallit!(sp) but now that I see the other pics, it could be a piglet. ??? Piglets are cute...especially with an apple in their mouth. ;) Pat

Post by: Calendargirl on October 31, 2007, 01:19:32 am: Pat do you mean a coati? That is what I originally thought it was....you know they say great minds...think alike ;) Justin said NO WAY they aren't in Texas but they are I just didn't argue...you know the whole fragile male ego thing... >:D ;D

Post by: ricktrojanowski on October 31, 2007, 06:46:43 am: There is only one way to tell for sure. Shoot it and eat it. If it tastes like chicken its prob. something native. If it tastes like a taco prob. something from south of the border.

Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: Hillbilly on October 31, 2007, 08:48:55 am: It's the larval stage of bigfoot. They shed their skin and metamorphosize at about 13 months of age, usually weaving a cocoon inside a hollow tree near water.

Post by: DanaM on October 31, 2007, 10:06:01 am: No way its a racoon, my first impression was a bear cub but it also looks like a pig.
Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: Calendargirl on October 31, 2007, 10:07:06 am: Deerhunter, NON, and Pat are the only ones who have been helpful here. Well so has Justin but we believe he is wrong. The rest of you.... >:(
Anyway It definitely NOT Pooh Bear or Porky. ::) (not to mention Bigfoot or Sasquatch) He is on all fours. Neither EVER walk on all fours! Which leads me back to Eeyore and Eeyore is known to watch his reflection in the water. If not Eeyore then it would have to be Pluto. But his ears stick up and Pluto's droop..but then again so do Eeyore's hmmmmm. :-\

Chucklehead? Do I detect a female "Stooge" fan?

You lie like a DOG. I said they are in Texas, just not real common. Maybe you should tell us what it is Marie, you wont be happy until we tell you it is what you want it to be. ::) :o ;D

When was the last time you saw a Bigfoot or Sasquatch much less the larval stage of one? Maybe it is and you just dont know what they look like in larval stage. Justin

Post by: Hillbilly on October 31, 2007, 02:08:08 pm: At least Justin knows his critters. Like he said, bigfoot doesn't become bipedal until it's in its adult stage. I bet Marie wouldn't even recognize a bigfoot egg. ::)
Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: DanaM on October 31, 2007, 02:11:08 pm: Bigfoot lives up here in the UP, we even had a researcher up here this summer looking for them.
He didn't even know that they hatch from eggs and have a larval stage, some researcher eh.
Maybe he was related to Marie ;D
Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: Calendargirl on October 31, 2007, 03:10:55 pm: Uh HELLO!!! >:( I have seen Sasquatch..even met him. He speaks like this...Oooga Booga me want this me want that, me like my fur coat!"" ;D

Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: Trapper on October 31, 2007, 03:39:56 pm: It is definately a wild hog see all the piglets following her, crossing the creek. Ive seen to many of these too know that it isnt anything other than what Ive descibed. All them little cute piggys are gonna grow into big pigs one day , Ive even taken wild hogs that were still young . I killed a guilt one time that weighed about sixty pounds and she already had four little pigs in her. They breed like rats and can have as many as two litters a year, parts of the south are being taken over by these durn things and they are in direct competition with the deer, in other words they are a bad deal , no two ways about it.

Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: Hillbilly on October 31, 2007, 05:17:20 pm: Heh heh. ;D Most people wouldn't even realize that bigfoot eats pine needles and cedar bark.
Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: mullet on October 31, 2007, 09:39:22 pm: It's a pig.And their ears will stick up when the heads down.
Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: TRACY on October 31, 2007, 11:09:35 pm: Definitely feral hog. I agree w/ Mullet and will add that it looks like it has a mud "mustache" from burying his/her snout in the muck rooting around for a morsel. I will say that the mouth area in this pic does somewhat resemble black bear but the ears and body proportions resemble the hog.

Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: stickbender on November 01, 2007, 11:45:31 pm: Calandar Girl, have you been walking with Jamie in the " Grass " Fields? Couldn't see anything in the first pictures, but the last is a bunch of pigs. Marc was right. No where near a Coati Mundi. They are much smaller, and have long striped tails and long narrow snouts. Racoon? C'mon you need to go to the zoo for awhile......Yep the little piglets are very cute. And tender......

Stickbender
Title: Re: What animal is this?
Post by: Calendargirl on November 01, 2007, 11:53:15 pm: Stickbender I will send you a set of pharmacy bifocals if you can't see anything in the first two pics... :o
The last three are ALL pigs so I do get that it is the first one...Justin said he would roll in poison ivy all neked and bare if it wasn't a raccoon. Pat and I as well as another think it could be Coati and since Pat and I are both extremely intelligent individuals ;D I am sure that is what it is. ;)
But if it is a pushmepullyou as Butch suggested, I will be there this weekend and plan to trap it. I won't eat it if it is a pushmepullyou but if not I will and if it tastes like chicken then Hey that is great because "I love chicken...anyway you cook it! ;D"
PM me you address and I will get those glasses to you asap! >:D
