I found what I think is a beaver tolet up on the bank above the beaver slides that I'm set up my snares on and there are three piles of scat about 5 to 10 feet apart! Here is a picture!

How does one turn fat into a powdery substance like chalk? More relevant to the rest of the thread, I think it's funny when you have a large coyote scat and then a little twisted (guessing some sort of weasel) scat right ontop of the dogs mound. It always seemed really ballsy to me that they would do that, and I wonder if the dogs notice when they come back, and what they might think of it. Props if anyone can guess what animal left this.

It looks like regurgitation more than stool ...at least to me. Otters often do this. This looks to me like it has a lot of SHELL content to it. Never saw an eagle eat a mussel, shell and all... but I could be wrong.
