They were about 4 inches long (roughly half a banana) I just thought it was odd they lined up so perfectly, they stayed this way all the way down the beach.

The area is known for both jaguars and ocelots. Is this one of the two?

3 separate dense pieces with some sort of fibrous material found in the boulevard of a residential area in Minnesota metro. About 1-1.5 inches in diameter. Very round and not elongated at all.

Spotted in Caribou Targhee National Forest near the Grand Tetons

Found in backyard. Southern Cali, Riverside county, desert climate. It was about 1.5-2.5” long and maybe 1” wide.

When she picked it up, the underside looked like it may have grass in it. So maybe some kind of stomach?

What do y’all’s think?

My father taught me that if there are rosehip seeds in feces, it's most likely bear droppings. Is this true?

Snow blurs toes and claws fast, but the way prints are arranged survives. Zig-zag line = walker (deer, coyote, fox, bobcat). Sets of four with the big prints in front = hopper (rabbit, squirrel). Side-by-side pairs = bounder (weasel). Wide rolling trail = waddler (raccoon, skunk). Then check toes: dog-family prints show claws, cat prints don’t, and cat prints are rounder with a three-lobed heel pad.

I wrote up a longer guide with sizes and photos for the common ones: biotadex.app/blog/animal-tracks-in-snow

Central Oklahoma, big enough I could easily step into it, no smaller hole within it going deeper underground. Only one hole at a time but they keep popping up after I fill them in. I’ve seen possums and squirrels in the neighborhood but that’s it.

Found this today on my street in Greece.it’s could be a fox or it’s bigger?

Solved! Barf of small, wormy predator.

Any idea about who left what in my New England backyard? One set looked like poop with big worms, but also seemed to have small critter organs. A second item found nearby seems to be the front half of a mouse or vole. Wormy things are two and four inches long, roughly.

We have hawks, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, and fishers in the area, and I wonder if one of these is leaving me presents. Ew.

Wichita Kansas in the middle of the city down by the river. I don’t have exact measurements, but I wear a size 13 that has approximately 5 inches wide.

Albuquerque NM, each are around 3 inches in length. Found on our concrete fence this morning approximately four ft from ground for height of fence.

Usually I'd assume a woodpecker, but it looks more scratched than bored.

My guess is fox, but I don't know enough to be sure

Hello Redditors,

I've found some little animal droppings in my garden, and would like help identifying them. I've looked up some reference photos, and I think they might be either hedgehog or rat. Photos attached.

Some data points:

• The droppings were around 2cm in length.

• This is is northern Germany.

• Discovered in early November, but they might be older.

• The area is on a garden, against the base of the house. The area has been covered with a rainproof tarp, loosely secured with some stones, but not firmly fixed or sealed. The tarp has been there for a couple of months. I guess it made for a convenient cover from rain and wind. The tarp was there because this was a strip of exposed soil along the base of the house (and door-windows), while waiting for the construction of a paved terrace. Just to avoid rain splashing mud against the house, etc.

• I picked up the droppings using gloves and plastic bags. They were very hard to the touch, as if they had dried out and had been there a while. I had to actually apply some light force to break the largest heap. Still, they were all very dark.

• They were scattered randomly, plus one large pile in the corner of the door-window threshold. More were distributed randomly along the base of the wall, as if it had been an area of passage. Just a few went past the the door-window, which suggests that the animals got there and stopped.

• Some were stuck "vertically" on the wall or on the plastic sheeting that sticks out of the ground. Still at ground level though, which suggests a small animal.

Thank you!

I just came back from checking one of my game cams as the battery died at my father-in-law's farm. Upon walking in I noticed these droppings. They don't appear to have hair, and each segment is approximately an inch, to an inch and a half in length and about 3/4" in diameter.

Just curious as to what it is. We get a lot of animals on the farm from fishers, deer, coyotes, and recently an escaped pig from a neighboring farm.

Found 4 or so piles of scat with berries and some hair in it. Found on back porch of cabin where animal would have had to climb the side of the structure to access (no stairs). Scale is lacking and going from memory I would think each piece is around 3/4” diameter and each pile was about palm sized. Located in central Kentucky. Thanks!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such long toes before! My searching has me guessing a groundhog? What do my experts think? Or is this just a dog with slender lil beans lol
