Field Notes

Description:

A light gray coat with scraggly black hair at the lower extremities. The face is white with black ears. The tail is naked.

Habitat:

I found this one sneaking around under the boundary hedge at 23:00 in the back yard of a Houston house.

Notes:

I try to never think of any animal as disgusting, but these probably give me the most trouble with that. I have seen reasonably nice looking ones . . . . . but this wasn't one of them.
