NC mountains, the other tracks are deer tracks for reference size.

East Coast Canada. Noticed some weird white paint or mud over my bins with distinct prints. Assuming raccoon, but can anyone confirm?

First time posting here, so hopefully I got all the details in. Looking to ID mammal scat found in my back yard today. Quite fresh, so likely from last night. Very black in color. The little bit I picked apart looks fairly even in texture, though I see at least 1 seed and maybe 3 hairs in it.

River is a few yards away. Old apple tree and wild berries nearby.

I've seen a lot of animals in my back yard over time. Many are non-contenders, like river beaver, river otter, white-tailed deer, woodchuck, weasel, striped skunk, and rabbit. The ones that seem like possible candidates to me are coyote, red fox, raccoon, and fisher, along with one critter I've never actually seen... black bear. tyia!

Hey everyone!! In the pictures attached you will find a clearly visible print next to a women’s size 9 shoe (11” from tip to heel for scale) and a barely visible print. I am located about 15 miles north of the Chesapeake Bay in the rural coastal region of Virginia. I think I know what it is but would love to hear some pro’s thoughts! Thank you.
