Raccoon scat (droppings) identified
Q: Our family recently purchased some acreage near Jefferson and we are beginning to build a horse farm. We found this scat and we were wondering what creature left it? It was about 6-8 inches long and about 1 ½ – 2 inches in diameter. The was another one about 50 yards away.
A: I believe your neighborhood raccoon had a recent meal of persimmons. The size of the persimmon seeds compared to the diameter of the scat makes me think it is too small to be a bear, whose droppings are similar.
I have a similar object at Stuff on the Trail.
