Ringtail cat

Yes in fact they are from the Sutter Buttes!

Are these the Buttes ringtails?

Sorry again! I wish I got notifications on this when I got comments! Much smaller than expected actually. Our professor who has worked with then for some time discovered that mistletoe was an important component of their diet in the surveyed area , something not previously known. Because of this many of the ringtails had significantly smaller home ranges than ringtails in other areas because they had a stable food supply given by mistletoe in key parts of the year.

Do you know what their home range sizes ended up being? Very interesting work!!

Yes! Wow I am sorry I have not used Noah in a long time! I recently completed a field ecology certificate from sacramento city college and one of the professors studied ringtails. We went out trapping and tagged ringtails to do research on their home ranges. I believe this is the ring tail that was caught in my trap. This picture was taken after been tranquilized and right before being tagged.

Hi WyattErwin! Is there a story with this spotting?
