Anyone ever see a ringtail?

They are nocturnal, so chances of seeing one are slim.  They aren't endangered or anything, but still a very rare find.  I"m curious....

I saw one run across a road in the Chiricauhuas in Arizona many years ago. (this is not my photo, just an example I found online)

I think so. I've seen a shitload of ones that look just like that, though I don't recall seeing the tail like that. I've seen them in the desert a long time ago.

I've never seen one.

Wasn't this thread a little different yesterday?

Is Taco throwing his voice to sound like Simonov?

Yes, my wife saw a ringtail at my house here in Glendora in late 1998. Haven't seen the buggers since. The previous owners also told me that they saw the ringtail in 1997-1998.

BTW, the Altadena ringtail sighting was just a cat. (We had discussed setting up one of your cameras there... I keep forgetting to let you know about it. Oops... sorry)

I thought when I first saw this thread that Simonov had the S-load commnet and Taco had a not seen one comment.

Maybe I sniffed too much adhesive?
