What kind of fecal matter is this?
« on: August 03, 2010, 08:31:26 PM »
My brother took a picture of this while on one of his walks.. The animal actually went to toilet on the glove that was laying along the road...
I think it's a gray fox and or a coon's contribution to to the blue glove. The ends are not pointed like red and or coyote scat.. What animal do you think did this?

That appears to be coon scat by the side of the road.  Maybe working the drainage ditch beside the road and took a potty brake.

A couple more thoughts on this  topic.If it was a resent deposit the seeds are probably poke berries as cherries are out of season.I wouldn't rule out coon but still say fox because of the fact that they like to defecate on objects more so than a coon.The glove acts like a scent post.I hope someone has the answer to this quiz.

Canines do like to scent mark on rubber for some reason.
Sure looks like chokecherry pits in the photo

The more I look at this picture...It's kind of like a work of art...Wonder if the wife will allow me to frame it and put it above the bed?
It sure is unique...Figure...a dump on a rubber glove might be hard to get a critter to do if you wanted them to do it?
