Here are a couple pictures taken in the yard. Any ideas?

Scat Photo

Photo to Provide Scale

Here’s my latest photo for scat identification. I present this photo of a loose bowel movement photographed last week in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I’m thinking it’s from a black bear, but let me know if you have any theories…

A Loose Bowel Movement

Can you identify animals based on their scat?  What animal deposited this scat?

The correct answer will be posted soon is posted here.

During the hike near Linden, I photographed this scat.  The front of my boot is in the frame for a scale reference. After consulting my Scats and Tracks book, I am not certain what animal made this deposit.  Any thoughts?
