Its a baby Moose! Moose have short tails that are hard to see. Baby moose are tiny enough to walk under their mothers belly without ducking.

WOW! When they grow up, their legs become more than twice as long as the legs of White-tailed Deer. Adult moose can step across fallen logs with their very long legs and wade across streams without getting their bellies wet. The fur isnt enough to stay totally warm on this butt... ... but the tail acts like a blanket that keeps this animal cozy when sleeping. Its a baby Fox! The swift fox is one of the smallest foxes in the world.

Mommy and Daddy weigh only four to five poundsabout half the size of a small dog. This makes the foxes super fast. VAROOM! Swift foxes live in underground burrows. When the parents are out hunting, the pups chase each other and play with their leftovers from last nights dinner. The tail is short, round and fluffy-like-cotton on this butt... but its not a cotton ball. Its a baby Rabbit! The eastern cottontail is the most common rabbit in the United States. Its a baby Rabbit!

Sometimes they walk several miles a day. ... but its not a worm. Its a baby Opossum! Virginia opossum babies are cute with their tiny, funny-looking tails. Its a baby Opossum!

These tails act like an extra-special hand. HANG ON! Baby opossums can hang by their tails, but as they grow, they become too heavy for upside-down fun. As opossums get older, they use their tails to grip and balance while climbing in trees.
