Quite strange to see wildlife in rather busy neighborhood of Long Island very close to JFK airport.We saw one hiking up Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon at night in the summer of 2017.

One pair she saw on our street. In addition to the help from their tails, they have semi-retractable claws to get a good grip on rocks or tree branches and their hind feet can rotate Other incredible climbing behaviors include “chimney stemming” (i.e. If citizens could capture an image of a ringtail and report the sighting to a centralized database, that would provide far more data for the range and abundance of ringtails in the US than biologists are currently able to capture on their own.There is not yet, to my knowledge, a dedicated ringtail citizen science project. Then I looked at the range map you linked to, and it had civet cat as one of the names. pressing their feet against one wall and their back against another like the Grinch climbing up a chimney), “ricocheting” like a video game character bouncing back and forth between more distant walls, and “power leaping” accurately across large distances.“What is their range?

I have asked many people about sighting them. In the meantime, you can report your ringtail (and other nature) sightings to

I’d appreciate it cheers.Hi Elisha… was the program on Australian wildlife? p. 386Rodríguez-Estrella, Ricardo, Angel Rodríguez Moreno, and Karina G. Tam. However, there were differences. In the middle of the night, a ringtail feasted on what we left on the picnic table. Their main predator is the great horned owl and I’ve seen video of a fisher making off with one in the snow. One has made a home in my attic!!

Miners and settlers once kept pet ringtails to keep their cabins free of vermin; hence, the common name of "miner's cat" (though in fact the ring-tail is no more a cat than it is civet).Often a hole was cut in a small box and placed near a heat source (perhaps a stove) as a dark, warm place for the animal to sleep during the day, coming out after dark to rid the cabin of mice. I live in Northern California in a very quaint town called Scott Bar, Ca. A typical call is a very loud, plaintive bark. Please note that all comments are moderated and may take some time to appear.Dave Wyatt, who teaches Field Biology at Sacramento City College, has been studying the ringtails in the Sutter Buttes north of Sacramento for decades, following in the footsteps of Gene R. Trapp.

Beautiful creatures!Are they in Texas? We couldnt believe what we saw and we got home looked it up on the net, probably never see one again.Couple of things: 1) my son had a ringtail stow away when he was canyoneering in southern Utah last spring, not realizing till he got home to Boulder, Colorado.

How do I encourage him to stay around?Hi Susan, I couldn’t find any information specific to ringtails, but from what I know more broadly, I would suggest creating habitat in your yard that’s attractive to ringtails. The birding is supposed to be better in the summer. Ringtails do have a sweet tooth and eat fruit and nectar when available in the wild – Stussy attracted them to camera traps was with a mixture of raisins, jam, and a commercial “ringtail lure.”Ringtails are sometimes prey to larger predators like great-horned owls, bobcats and coyotes.When threatened the ringtail bristles the hair on its tail and arches it over its back to make itself appear larger (perhaps another reason for the cat comparison). Web. After researching and finding photos of the ringtale, we are 100% positive we had spotted these rare creatures and continued to see them on occasion, honestly it could have been the same one, who knows.

I stayed at Santa Rita Lodge in Madera Canyon and the only mammals I saw were White-tail deer & Cotton Rats.Feb / March seemed like a good time to go for mammal sightings, though there was probably also some luck involved.
