Looks like a fat racoon to me Tail is tucked down a little

That’s what I originally thought too… but I don’t think the tail is tucked in. So it can’t be a raccoon. Which led me to posting this. Maybe it’s a groundhog?

I agree with raccoon. I think its weight and the angle of the camera make the tail look really short but the face and the way it moves look raccoon-ish. Lots of raccoons with tail injuries out there, too.

Based on body shape and the short tail, I think it’s a badger.

I agree.

Does America have badgers ?

I second this

I second the possibility of it being a badger. They have wide, flat shaped bodies, and not all head markings are the same. Similar movements as

Yep. It’s a badger.

The college team macots are Badgers.

On Wisconsin!

Looks like a super fat racoon! Dang! Fat trash panda!

I agree that’s a fat boi

Looks like a raccoon waddle to me.

Racoon

That’s just a badger Really…. It’s just a badger

Could be a groundhog

I think it’s a groundhog/woodchuck as well. Another person said some badgers may not have a stripe on their head but I feel like that’s pretty rare for an American badger. I think groundhog is more likely.

Obese raccoon.

That’s a very very fat North American raccoon, I’ve had plenty on my trail cams and trapped plenty to know

Don’t listen to anyone else, I think it’s a fat raccoon.

Walks like a raccoon. I had one in my yard with no tail.

Does walk like one but….no

Tank of a raccoon

It’s a badger.

WOLVERINE

That’s our neighbor’s dog

Its not a raccoon. It doesn't move like one. I raised them as a kid.

Honey Badger don’t give a…….

Raccoon or badger.

I think it’s a dog

Raccoon is my guess. Head down sniffing and would look more elongated that way

I thought it was a fawn at first

fat possum?

Molé molé molé molé

Wolverine

Tis a trash panda

I heard Minnesota and wanted it to be a wolverine so badly. Then this chill little badger showed up and I’m good with that as well.

100% sure that is le racoon

Woodchuck

Hard to tell. Could be a raccoon, beaver, muskrat, also saw badger as a reply, that's possible as well. What part of the state are you in? (I'm in MN as well)

We don't need no stinkin' badgers!

A very weird looking dog.

Woodchuck possibly

Trash panda, a fat one

Lived in MN my whole life and never heard of badgers here although it certainly looks like one, my bet’s on all-black raccoon

Are you near water? Muskrat

Someones fat little lap dog. You can see it's old too.

Definitely a ROUS.

Slush puppy

Badger for sure. They look like an ottoman when they walk around. Forewarned never met a badger that didn’t want to fight to the death over absolutely nothing, careful.

Thats definitely a mustelid. Likely an american badger. Wolverines are a bit shaggier and lean.

Looks like a fat Racoons to me, wolverines and animals in the badger family are more slender and tend to be more cautious and calculated than trash pandas.

Badger but not honey badger :(

Just looks like a fat coon, maybe a badger

It’s a fat badger !

It looks like a groundhog to me, did you call Punxsutawney to see if they were missing Phil.

Looks like a racoon.

To me, it looks more like a

Not a badger. It’s a raccoon.
