i dont know how to call it in english
but looks like some kind of big rat that hangs himself from the tail
it appeared in an episode of the simpsons, the one that conan o´brien wrote.. ¨monorail¨.. where homer gets a job driving the monorail or metro and when marge opens a closet inside.. there is this kind of rat hanging from the tail.. you know what i am talking about?

anyways
i hope it is a new kind of animal
thats way more exciting

It's an otter. The color of the fur and the fur on the tail are not an opossum. See how stubby the face of the animal is and an opossum has a longer face. I think using the claim of a NZ zoologist to identify an animal in Canada is weird. I think that's a fake claim.

an otter?
really?

it could be

i really like cryptozoology
i hope one of this days they found bigfoot or a fairy
that would be awesome

Can't they run some sort of species DNA test? They have DNA tests to tell the breed(s) of dogs.

They could do a DNA test, but the folks only took a photo. I think collecting the specimen did not happen. I'll look around and see if I can find any updates.

Could be a Stoat aka Ermine and member of the weasel family. Notice the muzzle in this photo looks similar to the muzzle of the dead critter.
