Its U G L Y  that's what it is...

You can see two eyes and a brown coloured flesh of a mammal, an animal that has active glands - skin is shiny, so is likely in a warm/hot climate (moisture on skin aids in cooling). Could be a porcupine or a hedgehog... or some other unknown to me equatorial mammal... 

It has a longish snout as the front is quite out of focus.

Those look like blue eyes Toko. Hedgehogs to my knowledge have brown. But you are right the coat does look like a hedgehog.
Wet, slimy and yes ugly as.

I dread to guess rat as I do not wish to see a larger photo if it is.

I will guess a dog who has just had a bath :)

I'm going to give it to Toko even though he seemed to talk himself out of it - and called it UGLY.

Here's the cute little fella that turned up on my lawn a couple of weeks ago

Yes - he got pretty close and wasn't afraid, I was lying in the grass pretty close to him taking the pics.


This is how close he was, they don't have sharp teeth :)
