 Ringtail

The ringtail is the official mammal of Arizona. It was named the state mammal in 1986. The name "ringtail" comes from the seven or eight black and white rings on the animal's tail. Ringtails are sometimes called ringtail cats or miner's cats. They are not really cats but are relatives of the raccoon.
