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. 😀
Hay, I’m atationed in FT Leonard Wood MO- The same critters are in my yard- it’s a large ground hog- according to a MO native- He said Ground hogs on MO get pretty big- hope this helps
Woodchuck is my guess. Do you have any other pictures of it? Sort of a tricky angle on this one, for identification.
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.
Looks like a muskrat to me. My parents have a pond on their property, and we get a lot of ‘em. 🙂
Crystal is right, It’s look like a Muskarat,
Still if you can see it’s also look like as wild mice too.

Hey Crystal, James, Heather… thanks much for the info on the critter! Nice to have this thing ID’d 😀
