Dear All,
Thanks for the interest. The two gentlemen (Simon and Tripper) who were
birding at the same time as me, and who were the first people I showed the
animal too also thought Kinkajou. I also would agree that it is a Kinkajou
from the descriptive pictures online. The prehensile tail was the first
feature I noticed on this animal, it really stands out.
Quote "The rangers at the refuge are aware of the situation and are on it.
Stella Miller"Yes, I had pointed the animal out to the Rangers at the Refuge.
I wasn't sure how they would ever find that again once it moved on. Hopefully
the traps suggested by some on the list serve would be successful. César
Una tarde la princesa vio una estrella aparecer; la princesa era traviesa y
la quiso ir a coger.
La quería para hacerla decorar un prendedor, con un verso y una perla, una
pluma y una flor.
A princesas primorosas se parecen mucho a ti; cortan lirios, cortan rosas,
cortan astros. Son así.

Yes, Paul is correct, it appears to be either a Kinkajou or Olingo (both are
neotropical cousins of raccoons and ringtails) - notice the prehensile tail,
which only opossums have around our parts. Who would have one for a pet, and
if they did, why would they toss it at a temperate wildlife refuge where it
surely wouldn't survive the winter?
I hope someone can tempt it down with some bananas or something and send it to
a zoo or animal rescue.
You really never know what you'll see in NYC parks!

Could it be a mink? From what I understand, they sometimes use trees to escape
from predators.

Hi all,
Yesterday I found this mammal resting at the top of trees to the left of the
blind at Big John's Pond. It seems to be a an escaped or released illegal pet.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Check out the Flicker link.
