๐ฃ Announcement READ BEFORE POSTING: How to request an identification
So, you want to know who pooped on your porch or walked all over your car? Let's find out!

Notes:
- To preserve your privacy and protect endangered species a rough location is plenty (ie. western MA).
- Scale needs to be something that people know the size of, and that doesn't have wide variation (grass, pine cones, and floorboards are not scale). You would be surprised how much easier it is to tell how big something is when you were there taking the photo. Also, consider stating in your post that you have included scale so the bot can automatically approve.
ID requests are not approved if they do not include both a location, and either scale or measurements. Including this information vastly increases the likelihood of you getting an accurate identification.

๐พ Cool Find Itโs the circle, tell โem Simba
This field burnt in the spring. All of this grass was rebound. The animals prefer it. Like a magnet. Big bonus if you guess the last one.

Hey! Wer von euch kann sagen, welches Tier hinter diesen Fรคhrten steckt? Sind sie von einem Braunbรคren oder kann das nicht sein und ich bilde mir das nur ein? Hab sie gestern in den Kรคrntner Alpen entdeckt. Leider nur diese zwei.
Danke schon mal fรผr jede hilfreiche Info. Lg Tom

๐ ID Request Mountain Lion - Central Colorado, 7000โ
Now that deer and elk season is in full effect I believe the predators are coming into these areas to scavenge the leftovers. These were found about a half mile into BLM land that borders a neighborhood. Rock for scale as I forgot my tape measure.

๐ ID Request Ouachita National Forest (Central Arkansas) found on an old logging trail. Several disturbances nearby. Had no smell. Opened this up and was soft/mushy. ChatGPT says it's a fungus, but zooming in appears to have what might be nuts inside.

๐ ID Request [ID Request] Black bear or boot print? Northern Wisconsin
My boot is size 13. The smaller impression was separate, the large print had a heel going back to about where mine was. Iโm wondering if this was a monster black bear or just someoneโs size 15 boot.

๐ ID Request What is digging in my yard?
My husband and I came across this patch under our deck that has been dug. Itโs about 1.5-2ft long by 6inches wide. Maybe 5 inches deep. We found what looks like a cat foot print, but the dug out spot looks very unlike something a cat would do. There is nothing left behind in the hole. We are stumped.
Foot print is roughly the size of a half dollar coin.
In central Minnesota.
