Yep! It’s a bear. Had one in the village of Lake Deaton last week. Was caught on camera. Had fun with a neighbor’s garbage

They use a memory card and can be viewed on any device that accepts a card. They run on batteries, and you can place them in different locations.

I suggest you look here to that there's no doubt, your photo is of bear poop. animal poop with berries in it - Bing images

I google searched the picture and it came up as black bear.

Berries indicate a herbivore or omnivore. Raccoon? Hedge Hog? A inebriated villager?

And if you don’t have the google search app, you should download it. It’s very handy and you can search literally anything by taking a picture of it.

Everybody’s got to eat. It’s probably good fertilizer to boot.

Black bear scat. That’s too much for a fox or raccoon.

[Ski Bum]

Yep, bear. I live in the middle of black bear country in Colorado

Must have been for bad taste, or confrontational?

Raccoon or Opossum.

Text the picture to Cayle Pearson at the Jacksonville Zoo - (904)757-4463. He has identified a snake and a bird for me.

We have had pictures of a black bear and cubs around Sawgrass and in the Village of Hawkins. Sure looks like bear scat to me.

That is Fox scat. They love to eat berries which is visible in the scat.

Yes, black bear sightings are on the rise this past week. Be careful out there folks!
