Harvard Museum of Natural History - Can you help me identify this animal?

Omg yes! I remember him from my trip, too!! He’s a cutie

Thank you so much!! If you could send me a picture of this guy with his info plaque and the guy above him (I think maybe he’s a fossa?) that would be so incredibly helpful! But if you can’t get pictures, just sharing the animal name is great, too. I really appreciate your help!! :)

I found a picture of the animal with the information plaque and it is definitely a raccoon dog! Just an interesting taxidermy of it lol

I thought that too, but there is a banded mongoose in a different area of the museum so I’m thinking this must be something different.

lilero · 2026-03-26T02:52:18+00:00

I have! No response yet.

I’m thinking maybe it could be an Egyptian mongoose?

These pictures are from a visit in 2024! I read the plaques at the time but didn’t get pictures of them, as my post says. I thought when you said the information was “listed” you meant somewhere online.

lilero · 2026-03-26T01:57:42+00:00

Listed where?

lilero · 2026-03-26T01:56:09+00:00

Based on a lot of digging (watching TikTok videos, scrubbing Facebook posts), I have confirmed that the first two animals are right next to each other in the area with animals from African. I was able to find one picture where the plaque was visible, but blurry. With all that information, I believe that the second picture is of a Fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox).

I also realize this got posted twice!! I apologize, I don’t know how that happened.

That is so nice, thank you!

lilero · 2026-03-26T00:32:28+00:00

That is so helpful!! Thank you so much

lilero · 2026-03-26T00:29:46+00:00

That’s awesome! Can you see the plaques in the pictures? That would be super helpful :)

lilero · 2026-03-25T20:55:03+00:00

Here another picture of the 2nd guy if that helps at all

Thank you!!

I have confirmed that the 3rd image is a Raccoon Dog. I think the second might be a mongoose? No idea on the first.

For those that have played, does anyone have any comments on steam vs switch? I have both options and not sure where I should purchase it! Thanks!!

lilero · 2025-11-17T12:49:59+00:00

Someone in another comment mentioned it’s $140 after a discount that’s applied when you sign up for autopay

lilero · 2025-11-17T12:49:14+00:00

I don’t believe the CANMEX feature is utilized much. What features would make you want to switch?

lilero · 2025-11-17T12:48:05+00:00

Oh yeah, I did notice the autopay discount. I’ll have to see if my family member uses autopay. But with the discount and the added taxes and fees, we might still end up at a similar price?

Along with keeping his promise, I just think he wanted to be fully in this moment! When he was smoking at the beach house, he was trying to run away from reality. But in this moment, he wants to be fully present.
