I seen some weird looking animal
I'm not sure what it was. I have never seen it before. It looked like a squirrel/ferret/skunk and a raccoon crossed. It was about the size of a possum and stood upright like a prairie dog. I'm sure it wasn't a squirrel. It was larger and had a striped bushy tail. Any ideas what it could be?

I agree with Mike, probably a fox squirrel. If you have never seen one, your first look at them can be surprising as they can get pretty big.
Only other thing that comes to mind is perhaps a mangy raccoon because of the striped tail that was mentioned.

In Colorado they have squirels that are black and have rabbit ears. I had heard that in China they have them as big as house cats. Now that would be a shock.
I live about halfway between Orlando and Daytona and I have ony seen the regular variety of squirel.

Aha! The bottom picture is probably a close resemblance. Thank you very much for your help. I thought it might have been some kind of marsupial released here or something. The one I seen had stripes on its tail and different colors on its torso area. Its also the biggest squirrel I have ever seen thats for sure.

In Minnesota they have solid black and solid white squirrels. I was shocked when I saw them but nobody there seems to be impressed.
