Who knew?




With 30 plus years of living in North America under my belt you think I would be able to describe fairly common North American wild animals. But today someone asked me what this one was and I had to look it up to find out. Is it just me? Who out there knows this guy with one quick look? Hands up. Or maybe this little guy isn't as common as I thought.

muskrat? venomous vole? lemming?
but I can identify 85% of the fauna of the Kahlahari, or the Indian subcontinent... Z is for zebra, right?
