Animal Feces
 
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.

Great idea.

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 11-19-2021 02:33 PM

This thread is a bunch of crap.

Mortal1 11-19-2021 02:39 PM

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.

Animal feces
 
This would be fox scat.

GOLFER54 11-20-2021 07:45 AM

That looks like wild boar or fox scat.

christine J Toft 11-20-2021 07:54 AM

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

Can you take another picture with a quarter next to the scat for a size reference?

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.

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