It was about 57°F (~14°C) this morning and this fella stayed perfectly still as I walked past and squatted down for photos. A very energetic dog had walked the other way moments earlier, so maybe it had a touch of animal spook, too? It seemed to be gone when I doubled back to head towards the other end of the park trail.

The skin texture looks really neat, but I didn't touch since I didn't know what kind of defenses they might have.

Caught on camera in Cedar River, MI. I know we have grey wolves in the UP, but didn’t think they were this far south.

i’ve had this video saved in my camera roll since 2022 and i’m really curious as to what it is.

Video was taken in the Rockies north of Jasper.

Are they recent or no?.

ID?

Found a nest of babies in our backyard.

Slowed down video in replies:

I have seen cats, chipmunks, squirrels, possums, raccoons but I’m panicking a little because this looks like a rat. Please tell me I’m wrong. Located in south central Wisconsin.

I saw this guy/girl show up to eat some food I leave out for the feral cats. I've never seen them before and I was just curious if anyone could tell what type of rat it is?

This was taken from a Ring camera during the rain so I apologize for the quality. Thanks.

So I was checking my trail camera the other day and I came across this beauty! Coyotes are frequent visitors to my camera, so I’m like pretttyyy sure this is a coyote, but it’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen so far. I live in an area where the coyotes get quite large, so this could just be another coyote, but I would love a second opinion. Also sorry for the picture quality.

Never seen a bird like it near my house. Completely green, with I think some black and white on the tail when it was fanned out? Didn’t get a particularly good look at it before it flew away

Found in UK garden this morning. We regularly get foxes coming in, think they dropped this off. Any ideas?

Sorry that it’s super quiet. It was repetitive, maybe once every 20 seconds or so, and I’ll admit I got a bit creeped out because it was at around 6am 0-0''.

**Hey guys. My brothers cat is missing, and we are worried she might be gone, or an animal took her. Last night, around 3am, we think she slipped out the front door while one of us went to get something from the front porch. On either side of the front porch, there is an areas with tanbark and trees. She’s slipped out before, and she usually stays on the porch or in that tanbark area. Two hours went by when we were both wondering, “where tf is Lucy?”**
We searched everywhere. Turned our house upside down, searched the property multiple times. We put her litter box out, shook her food bag, called her name, we did everything. We found these animal droppings right by the front porch. My fear is that what ever animal this poop belongs to, snatched our cat and took off with it and killed her. We live on a hill in the Bay Area, lots of coyotes, snakes, bob cats, tarantulas, owls, live on our property. We hear coyotes howling at night and owls hooting. I want to identify what this animal is, I want to know what you guys think could have happened, and I also want to know how to support my brother. Please let me know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions. Do we keep looking?
She’s a small cat, tiny frame, 9lbs.

Have additional video if needed.

Found on second floor balcony

Camping near Hope BC and this sound has been happening every couple of minutes for hours now. No one knows what it is. It's pitch black outside, so there's no going looking for it.
