Scat

OK...so this may be gross to many. I have posted it strictly for Linda at Braincheese and for anyone who has an interest in the diet of predatory mammals. Either a coyote or bobcat/lynx left this bit of poop behind on the trail I was on a couple of weeks ago. It was quite old poop, perhaps even from the winter, but you can make out two long white things in the poop that I tapped with a stick to determine the hardness. I think it's teeth from a shrew or mole type rodent, which is common prey for the above mentioned predators, especially in winter.



I now return you to your regularly scheduled blog...
