Mr. Long is a Chinese Ferret-Badger that first appeared on the miu宠乐园 stream, later this feeder was named after her on meow.camera, with Mr. Long its most commonly observed visitor. Her name comes from her unusual length (But probably very usual length for a Ferret-Badger).
Generally, Mr. Long seems content to spend a long time snacking from the feeder when undisturbed. However, she is very skittish and will bolt at nearby sounds, including the feeder dispenser.
Appearance
Mr. Long is very long. She has a long snout ending in a pink nose with black patches on her snout and forehead, with a heart shape between her eyes. His body is mostly brown with some long streaks.
