Full mask sporran: which animal?

[creagdhubh]

Polecat. See Kate Macpherson's website for comparison.

David is correct. It's a Polecat, which were primarily used for boys sporrans due to their small size. Kate Macpherson, my full-mask sporran maker, does offer this style from time to time, basically when she acquires an animal from local farmers in Inverness-shire. The fur is entirely too light to be a Scottish Pine Marten. See mine below.

Definitely a chupacabra.

I dunno.. that fur reminds me more of a nutria

Looks like one set of legs is a bit shorter than the other-if those are legs-haggis maybe?
