Marshall the Ring-Tailed Cat

Even though Marshall has some cat-like characteristics - such as pointy ears and a fluffy tail - he is in fact a member of the raccoon family. And much like felines, ring-tailed cats are excellent mouse hunters. It is said that gold rush era miners once encouraged ring-tails to live in their cabins to help keep the vermin out. Skilled climbers, ring-tails can maneuver along cliffs by ricocheting from wall to wall. They can also climb in small cracks by pressing all four feet on one wall and their back against the other. And although it may sound painful to a human, it is perfectly natural for them to rotate their hind foot 180 degrees for an even greater hold on rock surfaces.
