That sounds like a racoon to me. Just guessing.

A squirrel that has some monkey traits about it. Class phylum rodent not primate.

You probably saw a baby Skunk Ape. These are usually seen in the Everglades between Miami and Everglades City and related to the Abdominal Snow Man.

Would that be scurrying or slithering, Duffy's mom?

Correct, they are Sherman Fox squirrels and from some accounts can be aggressive. A friend and family were golfing last week, one jumped into thier golf cart looking for a hand out.

You guys are just too funny! Crazy funny!
I am contemplating learning to play golf--if one of those jumped into my golf bag, you would have me to bury!!
Gracie--I hope you and Sweetie and Helene had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the grandkids!
Bill and Brillo--Your Crack candy was extremely well received in Lexington, however due to the fact that we were feeding it to minors, it was renamed Snow Candy Crunch! Regardless of what name you call it--it is addictive!! I am back at Walk Away the pounds!
