Badger badger badger (snake?)

Anyone have any idea what this animal is? I saw him in a park in St. Louis, Missouri, and I’ve been wondering ever since. And since his home sort of complements my new blog colors, I figured it was high time to feature him here.

Comment from Graham [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Woodchuck is my guess. Do you have any other pictures of it? Sort of a tricky angle on this one, for identification. - Posted on Wednesday, January 11, 2006 at 19:21 [ Permalink to this comment ]
Comment from member Adam San Francisco [ BLADAM Profile \| URL ]	Just one other photo… but not a particularly good one :\| However, in the link above, you can see a bit of a claw… not sure if that helps. - Posted on Wednesday, January 11, 2006 at 19:25 [ Permalink to this comment ]
