Found this at around 11k feet near quandary peak in colorado. Can’t seem to identify it because it doesn’t match anything i can find on the internet.
Indiana. Post-it note for scale. My first thought was raccoon, but I know they usually contain undigested material and are found in large quantities. I thoroughly searched the area and found no other scat.
Edit: I heard coyotes screaming in this general area the other night. Could it be that? Can you tell how old the scat is?
5 photos showing scale: We live in Riverside County, CA in the East Valle Vista/Hemet/San Jacinto area. For a week, my two puppies have been acting strangely. They usually love to play in their big backyard but lately they’ve been acting frightened and trying urgently to tell me something. We think the scat found could be a large raccoon, coyote, or even a mountain lion. No, we have not seen the animal who did it. Here’s why we do not think it is our dogs’ poop: 1. Too large 2. In the planters 3. Against the palm tree 4. Puppies are nervous about their yard 5. Doesn’t look familiar. Please offer guidance on this based on the photos.
I've never posted here before but my mom and I were out mushroom hunting and we found a ton of trees that were torn up like this. We suspected maybe a bear made them but I'm unsure. I was hoping someone here would know, it almost looks like it was struck by lightning but there were a bunch of trees like this. Any clues?
The stump was about 10-12 feet tall, so over our heads by a good couple feet and this was taken in Northern Michigan, lower peninsula. Thank you!
No feathers to be seen, completely stripped down to its bone almost, just seems weird. What would have done this? Any ideas? I was thinking sparrowhawk at first but as I said. There was no feathers anywhere at all..
Is this animal scat? If so, what is it? I put a Dandelion next to it for scale. In southwest Michigan area.
I thought it was a twig at first. It seems super dry. I didn't touch it. My husband used gloves then threw them away. My kid ran to us and stepped on it. It didn't break apart though. Put soap on their feet because they were barefoot and had them wash in the sprinkler that was running.
P.s. I struggle with health OCD & Anxiety, hence all the extra information.
Hi all. It’s been an exhausting day. Raccoon’s broke into my grandmas house while she was gone and while cleaning we discovered they were very much still there. They are currently (hopefully) isolated to the chimney at the moment.
We had thought they had only ventured in the living room downstairs as that’s where 100% of the mess was but as I was checking up stairs I found prints in the carpet. We aren’t sure if they are from my grandmothers cats (who are isolated in her bed room now) or if the raccoon’s really did come up stairs.
The lat few images are from down stairs and are 100% raccoon for comparison.
Thanks!
Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh, District 1). Second floor bathroom, and yes, there’s dining on that level, plus the first. I believe the kitchen is on the third floor- not that that makes this /better/! I honestly don’t think that there’s an animal I would be “comfortable” with in a restaurant environment but the food was goood and I want to make an informed decision before possibly going back. 😅
I ate before taking this pic and I didn’t get sick off of the food so I guess I have hope? I included the pic of the floor because there were two stalls in this bathroom and they both had these bags that looked like they’d been filled with ice and placed over (I’m assuming) open pipes on the floor. 😭
Guerneville, Ca. Tracked this print all the way down the road this morning after a rain. Single muddy print in a straight line consistently spaced six paces apart. We have a mountain lion in the neighborhood- I spotted it myself a few weeks back in the morning right in the same spot these tracks start.
I am a little perplexed by seeing only the single large print for the better part of 1/4 miles but I am guessing it had one exceptionally muddy paw? Also curious smaller print that is next to the large one.
Main scat is 4-5 inches, mound with various smaller plops covers a foot in circumference. Any idea?
Found on a trail in San Diego County. Print is about 3 inches across. Couldn’t find any other prints.
I found this while surveying a road behind UCCS in Colorado Springs, CO. I tried looking at reference images; however, I couldn't find anything concrete. There appears to be large claw prints and a semi-circle print, although the medium makes it hard to fully distinguish. I have never correctly ID'd a track before, so I was hoping for some help. Thanks!
Saw this print, really stood out among the dog prints/hiking boots. I hope im not dumb and its just a dog, but the 5 toes are throwing me off.
Central Poland.
I came across a deer carcass today (pictures 1,2,3,4) with some animal scat (picture 5) next to it. I thought maybe it belonged to a dog, because all the wolf poop I saw contained a massive amount of deer fur.
An hour latera and about 2km from the carcass, I came across what looked like a textbook wolf scat and a couple of canine tracks leading to it (pictures 6,7).
My initial assumption upon finding the deer was that it was a carcass left by hunters (multiple hunting stands around) and the poop came from their dog.
After finding the scat on picture 7, I'm not so sure. There were virtually no wolves in my area, but their number in Poland is growing every year.
Dog or wolf?
Long time lurker, first time poster! First pile looked... furry?(photos 1&2). The next pile was a few feet away. Each poo approx 2-5inches. Central New York region (upstate). Thank you all for your knowledge!
Hey guys, wondering if you have a thought on this one. Taken today in West Yellowstone, MT behind the hangar in the airport. The airport is enclosed with bear fencing, but that leaves fairly large holes. We frequently have a visiting fox, but this looks too big for that. Maybe a cat with wide snow hunting paws? I've never seen the middle indentations before. Thanks for your time.
Came across it while on a recent hike in Upstate NY (Minnewaska State Park).
There’s some bear activity in the region according to iNaturalist, do you think this is bear poop or something else?
This in West Florida. The scale is shown with the tape measure (in inches), and I could not discern any tracks around it (though i might be blind). I am currently trying to identify these tracks i found in an endangered species conservation area. Thank yall so much for your time!
Greetings from Indian Land, SC!
What kinda of animal prints are these? Taken behind my house on a residential walking path about 2 miles from the Catawba River.
I tried google image search but it said probably black bear lol I don’t believe that but it’s not impossible. I was thinking raccoon or opossum since that’s what I see most.
You can see my feet in the bottom of the first pic for scale.
Thanks a bunch!!
