*** About Ringtail Joeys: Ringtail joeys, often mistaken for small foxes or cats, are actually members of the raccoon family. Known scientifically as Bassariscus astutus, these nocturnal animals are native to the arid regions of North America, particularly prevalent in the oak woodlands of San Diego. From birth, the joeys are meticulously cared for in the dens made in the hollows of trees or rocky crevices, emerging at night to play and forage under the watchful eyes of their mother. Their omnivorous diet includes fruits, insects, and small vertebrates, which they hunt with remarkable agility and stealth. Environmental conservation efforts are crucial in preserving their habitat, ensuring that the enchanting scenes such as depicted in this artwork continue to exist in reality.
