What Is It??
Anyone want to guess what this is?? What's throwing me for a loop is the absence of a tail unless it is tucked under his belly somehow....

It looks like a plain old raccoon to me.
|
I'd say racoon also.You can see a tail right at the very end before he disappears below.

Ricky Raccoon out for a leisurely evening stroll. 🐾

What is it?
Looks like a badger to me. Flat head, short tail and they are nocturnal.
|
Great game! Tail stripes at 0:20--I'm going with racoon
|
I'm a little skeptical of it being a Raccoon, Any pic's of the prints?
|
First impression was a cat...

Zoomed in and Clipped some sections of the video that show the mystery animal.
It looks like something from the cat family. |
Could be a woodchuck as it moves like one. However woodchucks do in fact hibernate and this is about the time they would be coming out of their dens... He's pretty fat though for a post hibernation chuck!!
Hopefully I will get more shots of him soon!! Dan |
Looks like a smallish fat bobcat or a hefty bob tailed house cat. Doesn’t seem to move like a coon...no greens for a woodchuck to eat now...no badgers in NH that I know of.
|
First glance I thought maybe a bobcat. However legs look too short and walks too clumsy for a bobcat I think

It does seam to move like a ground hog, but the tale, though small, looks a little different. I think best guess so far.

Sure looks like a porcupine in the larger photos. 🌲

If it’s a porky I think it’s lost it’s quills.
|
That would explain the walk, good call.

Thanks for the laughs... the dumbing down of America has been a success!:laugh:

could have been either a racoon or a porky but I would lean toward a racoon based on: speed of walk (porkies tend to walk slower than that), how it walked, I'm pretty sure I see ears, the missing tail seems more obvious toward the end of the shot. Also I would expect a racoon to be more likely to be exploring the waters edge than a porky. Cases could be made for either though. Also just looked up "porcupine tracks in snow" and porkies seem to drag their feet and bellies in the snow so again...leaning toward racoon.

It Was A Racoon
The unidentifiable critter in my first post and one of his/her brother or sister came around for another visit last night. It was a definitely a coon!
Tis had it correct right off the bat! Dan |
:)Thank you! The way it walked was the biggest reason I thought it was a coon.
|
Cool! Glad you got it nailed...that lack of tail had me going...
|

Finally, the mysterious visitor has been unmasked. ✌🏼

Definitely not a raccoon the way the back legs move and are shaped. Moves more like a badger or porcupine in my humble opinion.
