Marty, Thanks for posting this good information and Thanks to the path makers for including the sign and the latin on the sign for further tourist research . We saw a muskrat sized animal with fairly long legs and a long tail but hardly any fur down by the La Ropa estero last night. A tall hairless muskrat type of critter, a tall agouti type of guy but little fur. A Tlacuache, maybe.

Please be happy always
Tlacuache - possum

English speakers call them the opossum or possum. The Virginia opossum is widely distributed across North and Central America.

I wonder why they didn't include this friendly fellow.

I was within a couple feet from a hog nosed skunk a couple years ago at la Barra. It was dark and I had a good flashlight, and the light in its eyes likely saved me from a spray job. A very pretty little beast, except for the snout.

lots of tejon here. same traits as racoons, damned good at getting into everything and scaring the hell out of you if cornered in your kitchen late at nite.
