The creature in the video has rounded ears and therefore is a North American ringtailed cat, Bassariscus astutus; the cacomistle or Central American ringtailed cat, Bassariscus sumichrasti has pointed ears.
Cacomistle is a different species than the Ringtail Cat. The Ringtails are American and the cacomistles are from central/south america. Where did you film this?
This was filmed in Panama, so if he is North American he must have traveled a long way south..... Maybe both species live in Central America??
