Oh cool, a Coatimundi…

It looks kind of like a lemur-cross wolverine-cross badger. He shared the trail with us at Chiracahua National Monument just south of Wilcox. These mountains are one of the “island in the plains” ranges that have an amazing range of bio-habits plopped right in the middle of wide desert plains. Geology is the focus of this monument that has rock pillars and columns and pinnacles plus bunches of balanced rocks all because of the early volcanic history of the area. It made for a fun hike, plus we got to see a critter we have never seen in the wild before. They have lots more trails so we will need to return there one day too. Another bonus; a family of Javelinas scurried across the road in front of us as we headed home….cute little non-pigs
