This was taken in 1999 on Isla San Jose by 'Alejandra de Baja'. Babusuris are a type of 'ring tailed cat' native to the Baja Sur Cortez islands. This
one was made into a village pet after being caught invading a kitchen in one home.BajaBlanca - 2-9-2013 at 01:35 PM
what a beauty of a beast ... not only have I not seen one, I had never even heard of it. Big shame that it is tied up though ... can't procreate and
make more mini babisuris that way ):David K - 2-9-2013 at 04:47 PM

... the rest of the story:
It is tied up because Alejandra convinced the island village folks to not KILL it, and made it a pet (at least until Alejandra sailed away)!
The babisuri is considered a PEST on Isla San José and it was invading a kitchen when caught. Think raccoon or rat, if in the U.S..
