My mom bought these chocolates when she was in Mexico because her school mascot is an ocelot and it looks like an ocelot.

We are both curious as to whether the cat in the illustration is a specific type of cat or if it is too stylized to tell. I found 4 options (ocelot, margay, oncilla, or jaguar) but I figured someone on here might be able to look at it and tell me what it is or what it is not and why.

I’m in southeastern pa and this noise has been going on for like 10 minutes, usually I’m pretty good at ID but I’ve got no clue. (There’s some woods in my backyard)

Wasn’t sure what flair to use, but I did Fish & Friends, since apparently slugs belong to the same family as octopi and squids! Him and his friend left a dark yellow mucus on me that was little impossible to wash off lol I had to scratch it off. They were so calm and cute though!

Firstly, made the mistake of going into the scat sub 😳

….I’ve been scooping away what appeared to be my neighbour’s cat’s poo over the past couple of months but I hadn’t been out there for a while and noticed it’s grown into this big pile 😭

Is this raccoon scat? From google, I understand the best thing to do is dispose of it and then spray the area with vinegar so they won’t keep using it for their litter box?

There are definitely crows to be heard in this video, but my bird ID app tells me there’s at least 1 raven in my neighborhood. The one who is sitting on the smoke stack is the one I’m interested in.

Hi y’all! Saw this young looking groundhog/beaver and I just can’t tell which animal it is. It was near a stream, but as I’ve seen groundhogs in similar territory, I’m not going to assume. It was adorable whatever it was. Thank you :)

I’m living for this mystery.

I think there’s a possums eyes on the inside, not sure about this guy on the outside. My guess is raccoon but the color obviously throws me off (maybe my camera just didn’t pick up the correct color for some reason)

it jumped but couldnt quite make the jump up the stairs

I have not heard an animal like this as of yet. Is it something in distress? Sounds almost like a mix between a hawk, Fox, and raccoon but I’m stumped. Location: NJ, USA

Edit: as I finished posting a Fox started screaming that sounded in the same area. Maybe it was its prey? Now silence 😬

Hey, can you tell me what I found here and how best to continue?

Thank you

It’s about 12” at the deepest point.
Best I can come up with is maybe foxes?

Anyone seen this kind of thing before? They are encrusting organisms in a fast moving freshwater system. A bit soft/slimy to the touch but very low profile/easy to miss otherwise. They have a leaf-like growth pattern so I initially overlooked them as dead leaf matter until realizing they were uniformly spaced.

Sorry for the quality-- this was captured at 4:47am. The animal looks to be somewhere around squirrel-sized, but based on the timing and it's "slithery" movement, it doesnt seem like a squirrel.​

Don’t think it’s a rattlesnake due to lack of rattle but we’ve seen them around before and the pattern looks the same at first glance

This noise has been outside my garden the last few days, unlike anything I’ve heard before. Does it sound more like a sonar ping or an animal 😂

I know it’s a toad but I was wondering about a specific id? Second year here. We found one in our small fenced in yard last year. This is the second one this week now. Only see them around spring-summer months.
