Are these from a raccoon or a opossum? They are near a creek in central California.

What kinda poop is this

I'm not sure what kind of fur or pelt this is. It's pretty long hair...like about two or three inches long. I have no idea how much of the animal this piece represents. It's in south western Alberta. Foothills of the Rocky mountains.

Mystery fur

Found this hiking today in north western Wyoming in the big horn mountains. Was wondering if anybody could help identify what it came out of. I’m a U.S. size 11 for reference and am asking mostly out of concern for my own safety if it’s something big enough to eat me, thanks.

What possibly left claw marks on this tree?

Location: Northern Michigan
Height: about 4.5 feet from the ground.

The grass was very flat in a large area around the trees. Very close to the house. Things we get around here often: deer, bear, coyotes and the very occasional bobcat. My husband thought deer rubbing till I mentioned the claw marks. Much too deep and in an unlikely position for domestic cats.

What Critter Likely Left Claw Marks?

What animal did this?

I live in the uk in devon so the only predators around I can think of is foxes but idk why something would kill it and leave most the meat on it. What animal goes for just the face and organs, do foxes do this? I live near farmers fields and have seen dozens of small dead animals, always with most the meat gone, leaving just the skeleton. This one just left me abit confused

Deer?

Someone pooped in the raised bed in my backyard in North/Central NJ. Second picture has a dandelion for scale, but the bigger parts are almost an inch in diameter. Known critters in the area are raccoons, a woodchuck, and some feral cats. 

I’m really hoping it’s not raccoon poop, but if it is, any tips for deterring them? I don’t have any plans to use this bed this summer, but I’d like to plant vegetables in it in the future and want to make sure I banish anything that had contact with it if it’s from a raccoon.

Found these on my walk. In a canyon neighborhood in Northern California. We do have black bear and mountain lions. Silly kids, animal, bugs? 

About six trees in a row had this.

Who poo'd in my yard? 

Any idea what these paw prints belong to?I Think whatever it is sometimes leaves its kill on my porch and comes back for it the next day.

Found two different types of scat recently in Northeastern MN (mixed conifer/hardwood forest). First one is brown pellets about 1/4” in diameter. Second is white with tapered ends, maybe 1/2-3/4” diameter. I have my suspicions but am curious to hear what you think. Any links to references to confirm your identifications (as opposed to just guesses) would be appreciated, too!

Hello all I live in Tampa fl & I saw this hole with dirt on the sidewalk ? Anybody know what could’ve done this? Want to handle it appropriately

Balcones Canyonlans Nature Preserve, Leander, Texas. Had nothing for scale, poop was 1/4 to 1/2". We had some armadillos visiting last night, also there are a ton of tiger moth caterpillars feasting in the area. I've never seen this scat on my property.

Who pooped in my forest?

Can anyone ID these paw prints? Located at pictured rocks, upper peninsula Michigan. They were quite tiny!

Found this scat on a flat part of my roof! I live in a small town in Central PA, close to a river. I used a quarter for scale. What do you think did this?

Who Is Hunting Who?

I live in the suburbs of NW US and noticed these prints climbing over my vinyl fence. Not sure how anything could climb over something so slippery. Maybe it tried a could times and ran away. Is it just a squirrel? The prints seemed a little big to be squirrel.

Strangely symmetrical poop [Virginia, near Shenandoah]

My wife and I bought a townhouse west of Fort Lauderdale and we keep finding these droppings in the same spot out back. It’s under our neighbors tree which extends over our property. We didn’t notice them before and I think it just started.
