contents The new-born young of Bassariscus are small, pink, fuzzy, helpless creatures with closed eyes and ears, blunt muzzles, no teeth, small pinnae, and pigmented bands on their tails; they squeak and have awkward crawling, wriggling gaits. The eyes open 31 to 34 days after birth, the ears some 5 days previously. The young are fully furred; the fuzzy juvenile pelt is lighter than that of the adult, but similarly marked. At this age the pinna droops; the muzzle is long; the canine and lateral incisor teeth are through the gums; the rhinarium is pigmented. The gait is an awkward crawl, and the squeak is less frequent. By 134 day the young are sub-adult with adult appearance and activity. Their eyes are wide and bulging; they have a full complement of adult teeth, a muzzle long and narrow, erect ears, a long and full tail brush, and functional anal glands. The voice is an explosive bark. The male has scrotal testes about 4 mm in diameter.
