What Animal Was That?

[jkl2000]

Sitting on the patio of our back of the Poly room watching the sunrise and monorails pass by (lovely with music the resort slowly waking up!). Saw a littlle mammal pass by, but couldn’t tell what it was! Still too dark. Not a rabbit because it wasn’t hopping. It looked like a little pig! I then heard a sort of squealing sound where it went in the bushes, but that could have been a bird.

What was it?

Opossum?

Opossum might have young, report it to the front desk, just Incase

Could it have been an armadillo or was it furry ?

 

[networkpro]

Possibly a Nutria.

 

[kap91]

Most likely an armadillo or opossum.

 

[Nemo14]

maybe a rat...

Definitely too big and legs too long for a rat. Opossum is possible, but I’m going with armadillo because it’s cooler. Didn’t know they were here!

Have seen a few over the years.

They're all over Florida. Usually dead by the side of the road. And make a mess out of your yard with all the holes they dig looking for food.

When running the SW Light Side Half last year, one decided to temporarily join the pack. The screams of the teenage girls made it think otherwise.

We've seen armadillos a couple of times at WDW (once at FW Campground, and once near PORS). We live up north, so they're a novelty for us, and it was really cool to see them! "Like a little pig" is a pretty apt description of their size and shape (a long-snouted pig wearing samurai armor, anyway), so I'd suspect that's what the OP saw, too.

It's very possible it could have been a pig. The area is overrun with them (wild boar). I see them often at night on my way around. There are so many that the state of Florida does not have a hunting season for them. They can be shot on sight, anytime.

Yikes! Thanks for that information Armadillos and now wild pigs, not to mention snakes, gators, flying roaches, bugs, bugs, bugs.
Just joking, I've lived in the deep south and know what animals there are. I have never seen any of the above mentioned, and hallelujah for that!

Armadillos do make pig like sounds. We saw several that were moving on the grassy areas under the monorail line going towards MK.

Yes, but they're pretty big (and they smell bad). Probably an armadillo - we've seen them often around there.

Our room is right by the monorail line - yep, must have been an armadillo!
