Happy National Cat Day!
Okay, so they’re not technically cats! Often called "ring-tailed cats", these adorable locals are actually members of the raccoon family. They’re perfectly adapted to desert life and mostly roam after dark, so consider yourself lucky if you spot one in the wild. Fun fact: the ringtail is Arizona’s official state mammal!
Having trouble spotting one? Stop by any Glen Canyon Conservancy store and take home your very own cuddly plush ringtail! They’re much easier to track down, make excellent snuggle buddies, and are far less likely to get into your trash after dark.
