Animal Feces

[Viperguy]

Ok so I'm walking around my yard in the Sanibel neighborhood and discover some wild animal feces in two spots. Not to get graphic but they are definitely not for a domestic creature. Leaving my limited tracking skills behind, they have food from foraging like berries, nuts, and stuff in them. Does anyone have any idea what they may be from? Raccoon, coyote possum? A neighbor of ours has the same discovery.

If there are no bells, and poop does not smell of pepper spray, you can rule out Grizzly Bears!

Excellent deductive reasoning. Op pretty much covered the wild options. I have seen one large otter some time ago. Have not heard of black bears in our area, but anything is possible.
Op, keep your eyes and ears open and you may see the critter, especially at night when things are quiet.
Forgot to mention that size of poop an indication of size/type of animal.

You can photo it and have it identified. You can buy, at resonable cost a digital camera that is triggered by movement-sporting goods store item.

AKA: trail camera. Excellent idea. Always fun to see local wildlife.

But please don’t post photo here. Not talking about the animal.

What you have all been waiting for.
This picture was take a couple of days ago in the Village of Lake Deaton. We sent the picture to a friend in Alaska to ask about it looking like bear poop. What do you say?

[dewilson58]

This thread is a bunch of crap.

[Mortal1]

I've seen racoons, coyotes and dogs. If it smells it's someone's dog, If not then likely one of the two named first.

Coyote scat almost always has hair/fur in it from eating little animals. Most likely a racoon.

Based on the information provided it does appear to be a coyote. Think maybe I'll arm up for my evening stroll.

Same here in the village of El Cortez only found in middle of road a few times. Someone said it’s from a wild animal.

[cliff02]

This would be fox scat.

[GOLFER54]

I believe it was a T- REK

That looks like wild boar or fox scat.

[christine J Toft]

We had an issue also. Set up our night hunting cameras and got great pictures of a Raccoon and an Opossum.

Need something alongside to judge size...LOOKS like bear poop to me.

[Cliff Fr]

Thank you for using the correct term.
Can you take another picture with a quarter next to the scat for a size reference?

[Kathryn Putt]

Same in Springdale. Raccoon

Having lived in the country most of my life it sounds like coyote scat if it has seeds, etc. in it. Sometimes it will contain a bit of fur from a rabbit.

[DaleDivine]

This would be fox scat.

I agree with fox scat...

So, are you the OP's neighbor? :duck:

Now who's gonna pick it up and smell it? It's too small compared to grass blades for bear...

We have had several sightings of Florida bobcats around our village. They have also been sighted on some of the golf courses.

coyote

[fdpaq0580]

coyote

Still think it looks like a fruit and granola bar that melted in the sun.

[sloanst]

Could be any of those animals. But you know the old saying. Size matters.

[Gulfcoast]

No idea but I'll guess Black Bear.

[MDLNB]

Oh, you just had to bring up the color thing? Bet you wouldn't have said "white bear" if you thought it might be scat from a Polar bear.............:ohdear:...:duck:

[Topspinmo]

Racoon poop.


Or opossums? Not knowing the area where OP lives? It could be lots of wild animals that come out at night. Coyotes, foxes, bobcats, possum, raccoons, rabbits.

Crap is hard to identify. :)

Ok, who has a DNA kit? We need to get to the bottom of this mystery. Until we find out for sure op might have a dangerous swamp creature looking to get inside. 😰

I am laughing my butt off. This is a great thread. I never knew that many of my neighbors are such experts on....umm....you know! We need more threads like this. A great laugh for all!
