The Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus)

AKA “Ringtail Cat”

If there’s one thing you should know about the Ringtail cat, it’s that they are not a cat! In fact, they are a member of the raccoon family. 

Their similar features to a feline earn them a few other names including miner’s cat and civet cat. Despite these misconceptions, the Ringtail is named for its tail, which is long, ringed and bushy.

Native to the southwest US and Mexico, these mysterious mammals are nocturnal and have many adaptations to help them survive at night. Their large, round eyes help them see in complete darkness and their big ears allow them to hear the slightest sounds. They can also maneuver along cliffs and between small openings and cracks, while descending headfirst by rotating their hind feet 180 degrees. With the help of their tail, they’re able to balance and climb.

When they’re not active and out hunting, they are most likely sleeping in their den which can include hollow trees, rock crevices and abandoned burrows from other animals. 

They may also be hiding from predators like coyotes, bobcats, and great horned owls.  As an omnivore, they eat a variety of foods, though they tend to prefer meat.  Insects, mice, lizards, snakes, scorpions, fruit and plants make up a typical diet.  As a result, they play an important role in the ecosystem by maintaining balance in these prey populations and aiding in seed dispersal.

It's #InternationalRaccoonAppreciationDay so let's appreciate this poor raccoon (probably a Crab-eating raccoon, Procyon cancrivorus) who got mistaken for a coati (a fellow procyonid) in a 1737/41 sketchbook by Emanuel Mendes Da Costa (1717-1791).

Some character sketches from today! I guess I'm trying to figure out what my particular style is when it comes to character design. My objective was to draw some characters given what I know and have practiced pertaining to shape language. Honestly I should probably try doing some animation so I could put it all into context. Please feel free to share any advice or constructive time criticism on my sketches. I'd love to hear it!

Why does "what if everything's a simulation" default to computer simulation when it could just as well be simulated by hypnosis or inside the scrotum of a tanuki...

Looking at Mystery Robo here and I really don’t think they’re a robot actually. Look at that tail; that looks like a raccoon tail. At least a procyonid. Eggman robots tend to have metal tails if they have em; this guy’s tail looks genuine. I think they’ve just got thick armor on.
