Any Wild Animal Experts Here?

Featured Replies

My Mrs has been nursing a small injured animal one of her brothers found and gave her. It's healed up nicely and she's planning to release it next week.

Unfortunately my camera died so no pictures but it's like a long haired overweight rat with a pug nose and a short hairless tail.

Black fur, very placid/sleepy, vegetarian... she feeding it on raw potatoes. We live in the mountains near Chiang Rai.

Any ideas?

Bamboo rat ??

Hope its not a nutria. I remember some get rich quick scheme years back where people were raising nutria for their fur, with the promise that it would be bought by the govt, only to have that fall through (like the longan scheme as well). So, people released their nutria into the wild. Never mind that it isn't native and ended up becoming a big problem.Thai farmland falls foul to furry menace

Looks like a bamboo rat. It died suddenly a couple of days before she said it could be released. The Mrs was shattered. Who says Thais don't care about animals?

Thanks for the site Goshawk, very useful.

Sorry about your critter Scea. My misses get very upset when any animal dies too.

That's a good site for mammals. Here are a couple of other websites for IDing bugs and snakes:

This site has links to: beetles, butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, spiders and several other catagories.
