Anyone know what this is?
 

Captured this pic on my trailcam in MN. Debate over whether it's a raccoon, large procupine, badger, or ??? You have to look close at the head to get a good perspective.
At first glance it appears that the head is facing the camera, and has a raccoon-like mask, but that is really the markings on the left side of the head behind the ear. With a magnifying glass you can see that the head is looking straight, not to the left. So, you can only see the nose and left side of the face (left eye, left ear, etc). On real close inspection you can see the left eye- it appears as a small dark black dot. Its nose is
sniffing at the ground.

the picture is kinda small but i'd say its a coon

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

looks like a coon to me. Too tall to be a badger I think

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

looks like a tree,:D sorry i didnt see the furry fella on the right. Looks like a martin.

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

Here's a marten...could be. Probably just a coon. At first glance, I thought it was a bobcat. Who knows?

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

Looks like a badger to me. Hard to tell though.

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

Coon maybe.

RE: Anyone know what this is?

I blew up the picture a little and cleaned it up a bit. Loks like a badger to me.

I Did Some Work On The Pic, I Also Think Its A Badger

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

I would definately say a badger. It looks larger than most coons that I have ever seen. It also has that whiteline that starts on the belly, seperating the white/brown/gray streaked shaggy fur. Also the shape of the head is that of badger with all the corresponding markings.

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

I have to say as soon as I saw it I thought pine marten as well IMHO.

RE: Anyone know what this is?
 

i'm pretty sure it's not a bigfoot.

RE: Anyone know what this is?
