Sorry for the shitty picture but does anyone know what kind of animal this is? I work at a school and some kids were huddled around it and it had its head buried in the dirt so I moved it somewhere safer
It kind of looked like a rat but it was a bit chubbier. It doesn't have skin on its tail either. I live in flagstaff AZ if that helps. I tried looking it up but all I could find were pest control sites

maybe a coypu

I can't tell what's going on in your pic, but your description sounds like a pack rat.

It didn't have whiskers and was a lot softer looking though. Also it was really small, a little smaller than the palm of my hand not counting fingers
>>2008605
It's ears were too small. I couldn't see its left ear because it was covered in fur but the right side of its head was missing some fur and it had a really tiny ear there
Vole?
Muskrat.

This is pretty close. It's eyes looked like they were shut the whole time too but I don't know if that's because it was hurt or scared or something

Also possible but I wasn't anywhere near any bodies of water

What don't you get? It was small but had more fat than a rat. All the rats around here are skinny
>>2008636
i expected it to be the size of a rat, if it looked like one.
whatever, it's late here
>>2008608
I can clearly see whiskers in the picture, OP
