Scat Scout Eric found this astonishing sample while tromping around the woods with Betty last weekend. Wowzers!
To illustrate just how impressive this pile was he took a shot* with his ear buds cord in it for scale. Also his hand.
We figure it was left by either bear or Bigfoot. One of the other.
* Teehee! I accidentally typed "shat" instead of "shot" at first. Oopsie!
Whoa- yeah, bear, I think, although...you guys have a lot of big kitty sightings in your area?
ReplyDeleteBigfoot doesn't usually favor food with that much hair in it, LOL! ;)
Cougar sightings in the past for sure, but none that we've heard of recently. This seems like 3-4 cats' worth of poop, though it is something to consider.
DeleteE described the scat as looking like shiny charcoal - no hair in it to speak of, which is why we thought bear over some kind of canid. That and the sheer volume!
Oh. Um. That's not hair? That would indicate a high degree of iron...carnivore. Either that, or a diet of pure raisins.
ReplyDeleteWell, you can be assured it ain't cow! ;)
