From: KodiakKeith posted Mon, Nov 2 2009, 3:31pm  It's a groundhog. They get up into the 20-30 pound range and are common over most of the US. I don't know if this is what the poster saw or not. It fits the description, but they haven't confirmed this as the animal. Subject: Re: Raccoons without tails? From: kittenz posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 1:01pm  Surely no one would mistake a groundhog for any kind of raccoon or coati? Groundhogs have a pretty noticeable tail too. Subject: Re: Raccoons without tails? From: KodiakKeith posted Tue, Nov 3 2009, 1:12pm  The description says it has a stubby tail. It looks like our poster is a hit-and-run, so we'll probably never know. Subject: Re: Raccoons without tails? From: luna1580 posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 11:02pm  "no one" is a broad call. just browse youtube and you'll see all kinds of normal bugs and critters noted by the poster as "this weird [monster/f-cking] thing!!!!" -and from the candid audio it's plain most are totally serious. never dismiss the general publics' lack of knowledge of "common" critters"..... (and plants. and where vegetables come from. but that's another tale...). Subject: Re: Raccoons without tails? From: Tsu Fho Nimh posted Mon, Nov 2 2009, 6:47pm  Also called "woodchuck", and common in the Atlanta area. It's a major garden pest because of the burrows it makes and the enormous quantities of vegetables it eats. Subject: Re: Raccoons without tails?

From: MikeK posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 4:06pm  A woodchuck, would chuck, as much wood, as a woodchuck, could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood. But unfortunately, woodchucks do not chuck wood. Subject: Re: Raccoons without tails? From: ConstantReader posted Wed, Nov 4 2009, 4:35pm  Then why are they called woodchucks? Hmmm? Subject: Re: Raccoons without tails?
