I also got a new one peso coin and this now features the armadillo (which in Uruguay is called a "mulita"). I have always thought of armadillos as being desert creatures, but apparently they can be found in Uruguay (I don't know where, however).

It´s a possum not a racoon :)
Yeah- you are right. The coloring on the face confused us. I always thought possom faces were almost all light colored, with no variation...... But it is a possum.
Possum? Racoon?
Please tell me I am not losing it,
but when I read this article the last
time I am almost certain that it
said "badger"!
It's a cute looking critter, however
-- and I am sure more welcome than
the last uninvited visitor (the one
who left without his shoes)!

Yes, Phil- you are not going crazy (well, to be honest, I can't say that for certain). I edited the post to correct my erroneous identification of the animal. I had said it was a badger, but apparently it is a possum.....
Its not a possum , nor a racoon, it is a local nocturnal animal called COMADREJA !
