someone please tell me what this is???


This THING was caught and killed in my dads backyard last week and we have no idea what it may be. We are in Windsor Ont Canada and these animals arent from arounf here. I have never even seen it before and noone seems to know what it is. Please email me and tell me if you know what it is.

maybe a baby capybara?
David Arseneault
what is a capybara???
손님
a kind of otter?
David Arseneault
yes i am looking into that but i cant seem to find anything that looks like that
손님
Looks like a small Nutria without fur
손님
Capybara's only have four toes on their front feet, the animal in the
picture appears to have five toes.

My guess is that it's a Nutria (even though Canada is far outside its
range) without fur due to mange or some other disease.

Also haven't ruled out it possibly being a River Otter or Mink with mange or some disease, but the ears look much larger than those seen on an otter.

If this picture is not photo-shopped, then I would suspect that there were
additional pictures taken of this animal since it is such a mystery and
would love for the originator to post them as well.

Hi,
I've been lurking for a little while now, but I felt I needed to respond.
I have seen this somewhere before, on an old postcard I have.
Been searching the net for it and this is what I found, could this be it??
My postcard said it was an Aardvark.
Here's a link to a good picture of it:

I wouldn't think so because the information attached to the photo says "the
thing" was caught in Canada. It looks like something that would live in
water or a swampy area to me. It's too bad they killed it -- they should
have contacted a zoo or university for identification. It certainly seems
to be something unusual.

Well, it appears to be a capybara, a semi-aquatic rodent from South
America. See http://www.rebsig.com/capybara/. I don't think they are
particularly closely related to otters. This one must have escaped
from captivity.
손님
A capybara has thick toes compared with this mystery animal. My guess is either a nude squirrel or nutria without fur escaped from captivity. In both cases, it has lost its fur due to some disease, I think.
손님
Um hi, Ya this critter is actually a mink. Mink are caught for their fur and are even farmed for their fur. If this one was killed then it could have been skinned. But it is most likely a baby mink. Baby mink are born blind and nude. It would make sense that this one is a baby because that would explain the strange proportions. If this creature is from Canada then it is most definitly not a capybara. Mink are common all across Canada. They are primarily an aquatic species and eat a number of small animals including frogs, fish, birds and even rabbits.

this is a baby aardvark........and did you say u killed it!!! cause if u did!!!!!

dID YOU EVER FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS? iT IS NOT AN AARDVARK OR A CAPYBARA. IF YOU COMPARE THIS ANIMAL TO THOSE YOU WOULD SEE IT CLEARLY IS NOT.
sam
well, it looks like ET to me.
just kidding.. no idea what that is. but its got webbed feet so it probably spends a lot of time in the water. :/
albert
i know what that is its a Water Rat i see them all the time were i live.

go on this web site and look at the pictures www.faunanet.gov.au
jt
I think its a seal
T@ylor
i thik its a seal, otter, allagator
손님
Maybe a sealbear
손님
Yay! it isnt a Capybara! its not a Water Rat though. Water Rats have tails and this thing doesnt have a tail so it cant be a Water Rat. IT IS NOT A ALLIGATOR! HAVE YOU SEEN AN ALLIGATOR BEFORE?! ITS NOT A SEAL OR AN OTTER EITHER. Its not a Mink either cause Minks have tails and they are much smaller than that. What the heck is this thing?!

손님

Did you want to know the animal species or did you want to boast your killer instincts?
All what I can see is an animal suffering, and since it is a baby, means that the mother was killed.
Shame on you and your family
Tommy
Bustard for killing him, should of let him loose somewhere far from you. or called the zoo dum* as*
손님
Hello, I dont know what it is BUT I would like to say this.....I'm not suer why you felt the need to kill it!!!! Maybe you felt it was causing trouble but you could have relocated it!! You didnt know what it is, it could be an aminal that is going exstinc for all you know. People should think twice before trying to KILL everything!!!!! This planet is not just for us!!!

it look as though it is a hairless squirrle!

It looks a lot like a nutria rat, but it has no hair. The snout, ears, and toenails look right for a nutria, but you can't see if it has a slick tail, or if there is webbing between the toes. I am not sure if nutria can survive in a northern climite -- they are more kind of sub-tropical -- but they are tough little critters, so it might be possiable. If you had said it was found in Louisina, Texas, or Mississippi, I would say it is a nutria that has lost its hair because of a disese, or poisining, but since it was Canada, I am not totaly confidant of my assessment. It could be a beaver that has lost its hair, and maybe its tail also, but I am sure you would be able identify a beaver very easiy.
손님
Typical! find something, don't know what it is? lets KILL it !!!!!
