North American animals today! And boy, not going on and on forever was a bit tricky. Here are some cute animals that are from the continent now. As it's America, not all these animals might actually be native- some are found in other countries, some immigrated over. Still, they all can be found there today. (Though perhaps not easily found, in some cases.)

coyote

meadow vole

jackrabbit

bobcat

prarie dogpile

And a spider too!

Here it is:

I'm sure a lot of people have seen this pic before. Now you can find out its name! This is Phidippus mystaceus, and if that sounds a lot like moustache, well, that's why it's the moustache jumping spider. This one here is an adult female, and she's got a pretty interesting expression on, and the two below are both boys. Fun to look at, aren't they? THe adult females are only about a centimeter or so in length, so you can probably see a good deal of the detail that they display if you're looking closely.

So I had no idea we had coati in NA! I thought they were a Central America region animal. Cool!

Also, you tricked me with the "ground squirrel" - I know them as "chipmunks" but thought maybe it was just a similar looking new-to-me type of squirrel. Nope, same thing.

Ditto with the chipmunk!

As technically Mexico is still part of North America, yes, coatis (sp?) exists in NA. I saw several last year when I visited the state of Chiapas (which is adjacent to Central America, btw). They sure are cool!

Oh you are totally right! I spaced and was thinking Mexico was in CA. That's just embarrassing. Don't you hate it when you know you know something but still say the wrong thing? (Also, I know they're in South America as well, which I didn't say...ugh, that's a mess of a comment up there.)

I'd love to see one in the wild - they seem like such cool creatures!

No problem! It has happened to me as well. :)

I loved them when I saw them playing and exploring. I remember watching their caretaker in the zoo having to take special measures to avoid any escape or them playing games with him, as they are extremely intelligent animals! I once read in a South-American short story about how they are kept as pets there (I wonder if that's true or not), wich made me want to have one!

I once read about how skunks can actually make really awesome pets. Since then I've always wanted one - so cute!

The Jackrabbit picture. <3<3<3

Oh, those coyotes. I live up a canyon above a small town; whenever the fire station siren goes off, it carries up the hills and the coyotes howl back at it.

Is that a bobcat kitten (cub?)? It's so cute!

Awww, voles! Microtines are just little fuzzy balls of cute--but the spider could give them a run for their money.
