[Nhcoll-l] Help with ID Please

Mary Beth,

The first one is definitely a racoon, and the other one reminds me of a porcupine with the quills all pulled and the guard hairs left, but I really have no idea.

Greetings Mammals people!



I have a couple of skins that defy identification and I’m hoping someone in the community can help?  I believe one is a raccoon (albeit extremely faded and sans a tail) and the other one has me stumped.  Perhaps baby elephant?

Any help would be greatly appreciated…Thanks!
