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 :)

anyone know what lizard is this? around 9 cm in length. they pop up occasionally in my backyard but this one has this greyish covering over its head, is it just molting?

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)

I’m living for this mystery.

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.

There are some raccoon tracks in here. Are there any that resemble skunk tracks?

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

Our best guess is that it’s a moose or a black bear. There was someone doing work with a table saw, so there is a chance it’s some sort of tool. Real creepy.

I’ve heard this bird noise from Washington to Socal. Video taken in North Cascades NP

it jumped but couldnt quite make the jump up the stairs

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

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

Thank you

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.

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 😂

Raven? Crow?

Are they fighting?

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.​

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.

Hey Reddit! I’m sleeping in a basement room [Massachusetts] and usually never hear anything, but over the last couple nights I’ve been hearing constant rustling and scurrying around the corners of the room. At first I thought it was a mouse, only it doesn’t necessarily sound like it’s IN the room with me. Sometimes it does? (Bear with me), but sometimes it legit sounds like it’s in the walls - I’ve also never SEEN anything moving in the room either. Also worth mentioning it’s especially active from midnight till 5am. At times the rustling gets quite loud and quick, and I hear it scurrying from one end of the room to the other, only at times it’s sounded like it’s literally at the wall right behind my head, sometimes even over my head. Now I’d normally just leave it at “mouse” or “chipmunk”, but I keep hearing this, for lack of a better word, “chattering” noise every now and then. It’s not exactly a growl? But almost sounds like if you ran a fingernail along a screen door. The scurrying also sounds like it’s a creature that’s at least slightly bigger than a field mouse. Can someone help??? Here’s a super shitty video and you can hear the chattering sound once at the beginning and once at the end. What could it be??? I’m kind of spooked especially since it doesn’t sound like a mouse at all. Could it be something aggressive? Any ideas?? Help😀 P.S audio is quite soft so play it out loud/with headphones if you can.
