Can you name the animal that was photographed to obtain the picture, above and below?

Yes, it is a close-up of the side of a mammal. But, no, there is no trickery as far as my putting a tiny portion of a tiny animal that has been super-enlarged here.

If this animal ran across your path, in front of you, you would definitely notice it.

I’ve just received some good images of this animal, and some are close-ups.

So, as America goes into a holiday weekend, I thought I’d have a little fun with you.

Can you identify this animal?

Yes, there is striping visible in its coat.

Good luck.

(Depending on the answers coming in, I’ll post another clue on Saturday, May 23rd, and the answer on the 24th.)

Your thoughts and wishes to save the International Cryptozoology Museum are appreciated as you today do…

Thank You.
