Is it a gopher Gordon?

Cheers.

Maybe? Somebody suggested a beaver, but I don't think so.

If that dark area behind it in the second photo is its tail, I would go with beaver. The other critter in the second photo is a squirrel.

The hide looks a little hard. So it has to be a armadillo.

Not even close, it's not that... Pictured one armadillo.

armadillo.

Surely you jest.

I think he missed the second creature and was going on about the lawn ornament.

True about the wooden rabbit. I now see the other live animal. Best guess without getting a good look at the tail. Is a muskrat or beaver. Both swim in the water. If the tail is like a "rat". Long and skinny then I say muskrat. If not and very flat and board like. Then beaver is a Likely suspect.

The tail looks deceptively like it could be a paddle in that second picture, but when I've seen him closer to the house it's a bushy tail. I'm beginning to think he's a groundhog. I'd ask him, but he's awfully shy.

Please excuse this picture. It is the best I could find at at the moment for a "police type" lineup.

Excellent lineup, Admiral. Based on that, I'm going with my suspect as a groundhog.

Don't worry, all I have is a camera for shooting.

Here's another picture of the critter:

Size wise it looks like a Marmot.

I do have a positive identification on one of the critters in Gordon's second picture. A squirrel.

I didn't see that critter in the background until just now. LOL

Looks something like a Badger to me of some kind.

He/she probable was going to take on that Rabbit.
