What species is Mudpie's lunch?
If you have a hangup about cats catching and eating their own food, just
go on to the next thread - this one is about cats and their prey in the real world. Flames to /dev/null. Mudpie caught this, and eventually ate some of it. It was still alive and relatively undamaged when I took the pictures. 67.54.246.139:9000/tdavis/cats/misc/ This is the second of these I've seen - the first was already mostly eaten, but the tail caught my attention. He most likely caught it in a hay field or the overgrown fence row at the edge of the field, but possibly in brush or woods. I can't identify it. Location: South Central Missouri (foothills of the Ozarks). Time of day: about 5:30 PM. Size: maybe 6-7 inches. Does anyone know what it is? -- T.E.D. ) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla). |

That machine doesn't have a fixed name, or for that matter, a fixed IP address. Other reasons are that it's raining heavily here (it hasn't rained since Monday) or my power failed (no evidence of that) or that Windblue (my ISP) is malfunctioning (frequent). Sometimes, some sort of anti-malware software will object to the nonstandard port (:9000) - spiders are less likely to stumble across the server there than on the default HTML port, and I really don't need or want the traffic. I can't put a full link in an original post because the Individual.net server rejects the message as spam. Since this is a reply, I can include the fully qualified URL link: http://67.54.246.139:9000/tdavis/cats/misc/ -- T.E.D. ) |

Anyway, I'll call it a chipmunk. The stipes don't extend as far down the back as in the pictures, but it does have stripes on the face which the only similar animal doesn't. More research turned up the best match: Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus) - it's stripes don't reach to the tail either (and it's the only chipmunk likely to be found here). -- T.E.D. ) |
