Ringtail cats get their name from …. the black and white rings on their tails. With tails as long as their body, this makes them adept climbers using their long tails for balance.

It is to seem larger and warn predators that they are not to be messed with. #arizona #desertanimals #tucson #wildlifephotography #wildlife bbcearth discovery natgeoyourshot natgeo #natgeoyourshot #sony #sonyalpha natgeoanimals desertmuseum #natgeoyourshotdiscoveries
