Teaser

Upcoming on Sparkling Squirrel-- rodent games, prairie dog tourism, Luxemburgian and Hungarian sparkling wine, Hero Rats, and a mammal (non-rodent) spotted in the Black Hills which neither the Mister nor I had seen before. Any guesses?

Need help, a clue. Is this an mammal you've never seen anywhere before, even in a zoo---or you've never seen one in the wild before?

To my knowledge, neither The Mister nor I have ever seen one of these before in the wild or in a zoo. We both mistook it for a rodent when we first saw it, making it neither buffalo nor bobcat.

Was it a native species? Was it an echidna? Or a dingo?

Ozzie reader is ridiculous. I think it was a very small whale.

it moved in the understory to alert us of its presence. Then it very kindly posed for us.

My first thought was "that's a big squirrel." My second thought was "that's a small fox." it was neither, of course.

Either a Hayden's shrew or a little brown myotis.
