That I sent my wife to Jiffylube to have moles removed.

This is crazy. Tammy had an appointment this morning in
Clare, so took my old truck because it was clear of ice and snow because we had it out last night for a coleman veterans memorial board meeting.  I asked her to stop in to the oil change place on her way home and get the oil changed. She said the guy pulled the air cleaner out and as he did, she saw him jump back and exclaim WHAT THE !$#%!  

This is what they found. She said the guys said they see thousands of cars and have nver saw these in an aircleaner box. And, the air cleaner was fine!

Are they moles?  I think you have to train them to run on a little wheel under the hood.  Did it improve your fuel economy?  :o running-doggy

I think they are moles. I don't know what else they could be,but I never heard of a mole climbing.  I noticed an odd smell in the truck last month when I came back from being in the U.P. hunting. When I was up there it sat for two weeks and never moved. We had a snow storm in that time, and a big warm up and thaw. There were a couple times when that front corner of the truck was buried in snow from it sliding off the roof.  I honestly don't know. I have the oil changed and the truck services regular, but I drive so few miles that it's been almost 6 months since the last oil change and filter inspection.  I had noticed a decrease in the fuel economy and I'll bet that air obstruction was the case.  The smell probably went away when they froze solid in there. They sure don't look like they yad been in there that long though.  I never got to see them. The oil change guys through them out.

I just asked Tammy, she said they were still very pliable and didn't show any signs of being frozen.

I think after some deductive reasoning the Mystery is solved.  I think they had been killed by something else and stored in my truck. What could do that? Well, I just happened to catch the killer on video during hunting season and had forgot all about it. I had only viewed the clip on my phone until now, and after seeing it on big screen, the bugger was in my truck not just under it.

Don't think I am in Kansas anymore.  We do not have those here.  Is it a Marmot or a mink?

maybe Magic Man has a recipe.  Could have made at least one glove from the hides.

I was going too suggest that it was a "Prankster", little did I know that the Prankster would be the Four- Legged kind.... Cool video.

Did they give the truck mole power? I am amazed a weasel could get them in there.

When we had rabbits, weasels use to squeeze through the chicken wire pens and kill them.

Had one try to steal a partridge off a wood pile on me once.  I don't recall why but I had set the bird or birds down on the pile and was just a couple feet away when I saw the bird starting to get pulled into the pile!!  He was in his white phase too.

In general that is a Weasel when it's brown, and an Ermine when it's white!

They change color phases on about the same schedule as the Varying Hare!

Another thing, they can emit an odor on the same level as a skunk, just not as much!

Those look like pocket gophers.  Do you have small dirt mounds pushed up anywhere near where you parked your pick up ?  They look a little too big for moles.

No dirt mounds witnessed. Thats a gravel clay driveway.

We watched a weasel hauling off dead bats to a cache somewhere.  The building had a bat infestation.  That's another story in itself ;) ;D  We watched him haul a dozen away and he couldn't have cared less that we were watching him.  That was a couple years before phones with cameras let alone video capability :) :)
