I'm not sure if it is African or not, but I know I've seen one before. Problem is......I can't remember what the damn things are called. Can someone please tell me what the name of this animal is??

Looks like the long tailed jackalope doe. It seems to be crossing the road by the photoshop.

It is a mara (a South American mammal).

An Argentine rodent that looks like a small deer. It's about the same size as the brocket deer in Argentina.

it looks african.. could be a lost klipspringer

It is a MARA, from Argentina. Go to GOOGLE , and put in the search window ANIMAL CALLED A MARA it will take you to a bbc web-site with pictures of the animal!

It's a mara... Back feet three claws and front 4 claws... Full grown around 25 lbs. and sits like a dog...

Took it all from encyclopedia on line...

thanks guys........that's what I needed

Eland, Old friend of mine that works at TDA emailed me that same photo today. I thought it was a muntjac at first but do not think so anymore. He said the photo was taken in the hill country somewhere, thinks around Johnson City. Where did you get the photo? just curious.

Damn ugly critter cross between deer and a small yapping dog

Thank all the hunting gods that it's not African. Damn, but we've got finer looking stuff than that here....

Its the evidence and the result of a drunk party where a steenbuck and a rabbit was the only party animals.

If 6 beer can make a woman pretty. this is what 6 beers can do to a rabbit

I was on a hunting trip to South America once and I asked for one of these beasts to be served up.... I like trying such things as long as I don't have to eat no damn mushrooms. The young cook cooked it up with some onions and I asked the guide if he was going to have some ??? He snarled that he didn't eat anything that looked like it came from Chenobyl!. It was O.K. but I don't much like dining alone in a small room of people.
