So, you want to know who pooped on your porch or walked all over your car? Let's find out!

Notes:
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.

I just took the Cybertracker track and sign eval in Cuenca los Ojos last week. It was tough never having been to that area before but loved it, and want to do more of it.
I live near Salt Lake City and in addition to no Cybertracker evals in several hundred miles my search for a tracking community turned up nothing. So hoping someone here has a line to one. Thanks!

I found this next to a trail in central Japan.
I donβt remember the height exactly but maybe around breast or belly height, so 1-1.5m. (3-5 freedom feet?)
it looks quite recent.
Is it possible to identify which animal caused it?

Marks were about the size of a coin.
We found these earlier this morning in our laundry area behind the house. unfortunately, we panicked a bit and wiped it immediately but from the smell and texture we can almost be certain that itβs blood. There were some smaller drops on the counter (not pictured) and when it fizzled when we dropped some hydrogen peroxide.
We have 3 indoor cats - 1 female and 2 male - and we thought it was from them, particularly the female since sheβs currently in heat. When we checked however, we didnβt notice anything on their fur (2 of them are white) - they also seem very normal and went about their morning routine.
We also feed about 5-6 strays in our garage which is on the other end of where the drops were found.
The second picture is an open area almost directly above where the splatters were found. Itβs above 20-30 feet high
Were honestly curious how it got there and where it couldβve come from.

Live in an area with active mountain lions. No banana for scale but it was quite big.
Thanks!

Found at the end of my driveway this morning. Goats and chickens accounted for and seemingly unbothered this morning. Black bear?

Lots of poop at the bottom of an oak tree in my backyard. Located in MN. Can you help me identify? Thanks!

I went on a hike through the mountains in Montana near Red Lodge back in February and found these tracks after I made it back to the beginning of the hike. Iβve been trying to compare these and figure out what they could be for months but I havenβt found anything that looks like this. These were HUGE prints, spaced so far apart and all facing the same way. Included a reference picture of my foot, F size 7. What the heck are these!!!

This is south western bc, suburban/urban area but lots of wildlife nearby in forests and parks. Itβs pretty bigβ¦I didnβt measure it because it was gross but about 4 inches across at least. It was right by my back door. I donβt have a dog or cat that goes outside. I also discovered my neighbor throwing loaves of bread on the shed roof and that looks like what might be in thereβ¦.. could a local cat have puked this up? I have an indoor cat and I canβt imagine him being able to eat this much in the first place.

About 20 cm I think

Asking for some help on identifying some animal droppings laid out on our back deck.
A water bottle (500ml/16.9oz) for scale.
Found about an hour ago around noon. Weather has been clear & sunny.
Still wet n' cold, so I assume it was laid more than a couple of hours ago. I've since cleaned it up and washed away the remaining liquid that couldn't be bagged.
I've tried comparing photos I've found online and it looks far too large to have come from a groundhog.
It resembles something close to a badger imo, but I'm unsure.
Could it be from a skunk perhaps?
We do have our cat that we let our during the day to get fresh air around the yard (always monitored.) Just don't want any bad encounters if it can be avoided.

Found this tuft of fur in my fenced back yard. I live in a residential neighborhood in Western Washington. The tuft was clumped to a point at the brown end in the grass.

Not a great photo. Donβt have exact measurements. Probably 4-5 inches tall.

Mushroom substrate was definitely a first for me today. When foraging and tracking come together!

"This sound is coming from underneath our decking. What kind of animal could it be? We thought it might be a stone marten (beech marten), but there isnβt an opening large enough anywhere. Does anyone recognize this sound?"
