Folks,

I came home tonight and in my driveway was a very odd looking dead
animal. I do not recognize it. It was lying dead next to a very large
bird or squirrel's nest that had come down from one of the oaks above.

It is about the size of a large male squirrel, but it has a black and
white ringed tail and a fox like face with sharp teeth. Its body is more
tan and brown colored fur with that black and white ringed tail. Weird!

It looked like it had both fallen out of the tree with the nest, but had
also been chewed on by something else.

Question: What animal is it?

TIA -- Gae
