What kind of animal is this?

[ddavis_1313]

Damn thing scared the crap out of me. It’s in my dad’s garage. I’m clueless as to what it is.

It’s seems to be somewhat friendly.

It's a kinkajous. Unless he lives in Central/South America it's someone's escaped pet or a zoo animal. Probably explains the friendliness.

Just looked that up. No idea where in the crap he would have come from. My dad lives there n the country with very few neighbors. lol

Guess I’ll try to get it some water. I kinda feel bad for the little guy. No idea what he’s eating and living on. It’s pretty dry around here.

Don’t piss it off, just read that if you wake them up in the day, they will attack and try to chew on your genitals or face!

Update: he isn’t that dang friendly. I was giving him water in a cut off Gatorade bottle and he took a swipe at me when I tried to touch his head with my finger.

Little dude may have to figure out survival on his own if he keeps this up!

I read that article. I’m not too worried about my face. Can’t get much worse. But I don’t have much to give up in the other department!

He is kind of a cute little bastard.

I vote you try and scratch between his ears. Make sure to report back on your level of success.

Train him to be a tree version of those weasels I see on youtube that get the dumpster rats but for squirrels.

Let him sleep in your decoy tent. No murderer would want to murder after seeing that cute lil fella.

Now that's not something I'd ever expect to see in a garage!

Put that on the Thanksgiving table with an apple in its mouth and you'd be remembered for all time.

You missed the part where I said he made a swipe at me when I did try that. lol

We will be friends from a distance. For now.

He sure was thirsty though.

20 years ago I probably would have.

I’m getting close to 40. I’m getting soft. lol

Exactly my thoughts when he stuck his head out. My younger brother wants to keep him. But he’s had all kinds of pets. Rabbit, parrot, and even a squirrel he rescued flown it didn’t even have its eyes open.
