Scat ID help, please.

The first picture is from yesterday. Since I couldn’t figure it out myself I took another one today with the ruler to show the size.

According to my Scats and Tracks book, could be possum, wolf, coyote.

Boy, that must be a big possum! I do have them around. Haven’t seen a coyote in 5 years. Others I have seen are fox, raccoon and skunk.

That's definitely bear scat. Black bear since there aren't brown bears in ontario.

Every source I've checked says that there ARE plentiful deer in the San Fernando Valley. You might not have seen an actual deer, YET, but they are there! San Fernando Valley Wildlife

Cardamine bulbosa, or similar. But that's just a guess. It really needs a shot of the leaves to lock down the ID.

Yup, agreed on the ID. You could probably take cuttings a few nodes long & pot them back into mother plant's pot, to make it look even more full & lush.

Could be a raccoon. Don't touch or smell it. It can have parasites that are fatal to humans (so the book says.)

Iris, we have recently installed motion detecting security cameras around our home and have been shocked and enthralled by the number and variety of wildlife that stroll across a camera range, triggering a great video....and an alarm to our cell phones, lol.

We've seen possums, skunks (including a white one), fox, coyotes, armadillos, and a great bat show every night. I call them the 'bat-capades'! I've seen many of those animals in the daylight with my own eyes but some were a big surprise to us.

I would love to see what is going on in my yard. I did have one of these wildlife cameras years ago. That didn’t work out well, all I ever saw were glowing eyes. Time to look into some new technology.
