Claire Peterson Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 Hi everyone, a Facebook user sent us these images of an unknown substance in her yard - eggs maybe? She had never seen something like before and was unsure what it could be. Quote
Christina Baugher Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 It looks like scat - possibly from a raccoon. Quote

Claire Peterson Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Posted May 6, 2020 @Christina Baugher - would the scat be small, like the size of sprinkles on a donut? Quote
Christina Baugher Posted May 8, 2020 Report Posted May 8, 2020 Full disclaimer - I am not a scat expert:) That said, raccoon scat wouldn't be the size of a sprinkle. I had put forward it being from a racoon because I thought the roundness was from undigested berries. Rodents have small scat (like a sprinkle), but that's typically oblong. So now my guess would be this is from a rabbit. I will happily defer to any wildlife biologist that wants to weigh in though! Quote
