Can't say it surprises me at all, NC has some interesting "varmits". Mom and I saw something at the resevoir last spring that at first glance we thought was a squirrel- with lemur type face coloring and a really long thick snout and a long tail. Seemed to stay more to the ground than the trees. Took me a while to track it down, and only wound up finding it shown in a museum. None of the locals knew what I was talking about. I cannot recall what it was- wrote it on a program somewhere- but it is native to the same area as the critter above- maybe some kind of mutation black hole in the bible belt :-)
Nah. You know how mountain critters are about marrying cousins . . .
