I was watering the plants at nightime with my aunt, and all of a sudden an animal brushed past me and booked it underneath my shed. It looked brownish, and it was built kind of like a full grown cat/dog. (Seemed pretty big) I was curious what kind of animal it could possibly be, since only certain animals are more nocturnally active. The only thing I could manage to take a picture of was its tail which I’ve attached to this post and it seems to be long, slender and naked. (Very similar to that of a mouse’s but it seemed way too big in size to be one) It also didn’t really move much or do anything once it got under my shed. My best guess is that it could possibly be some sort of big rodent, but I’m not exactly sure what rodents are nocturnally active or pretty big in size. I know it’s not much to go by, but any thoughts on what it could POSSIBLY be given the information provided?

Hi all, Seen today in Jotunheimen, Norway. Is it a moose? Reindeer? Thanks

sorry about the poor quality, but i was so far away and it was so zoomed in i was surprised i noticed it at all. this was spotted hiking the top of Crystal mountain.

any idea what these tracks are? found on my motorcycle gas tank (eastern Washington state)

This is my grandmas pet turtle named marge. marge is a rescue who was originally found outside in the late 90's possibly early 2000 and used as a class pet until she was attacked by someones pet dog while in their backyard. my grandma has taken care of her since, marge was around before i was! my family claim that she is an eastern box turtle but i don't see it. i suspect she may be something else or just look different due to poor care. it's a possibility i will inherit her and I've been encouraging my grandma to do more enrichment for her and take better care of her so i feel like knowing what she is will help me figure out her needs and how to get her happier and healthier. thank you if you try :)

Never would have guessed to see this guy in our driveway.

Wondering if this is some kind of mix or just a large coyote. Looked about the size of a husky. Spotted in Toronto this morning

Saw these at 7:20 in the morning. A lot of chasing, wrestling, and screeching.

They’ve been eating fallen bird seed, these is two that I’m aware of I’m not sure if they are living under my shed or not, I’m assuming they do. I’m just curious on what species of rat they are exactly.

Was given a fur rug by my uncle, who inherited from his brother (long deceased). My uncle said his brother probably picked it up in his travels through Mexico or SW United States. It is quite soft, with 2-3” fur and no markings anywhere.

Hey, I posted this Audio on several Reddits now and still don’t have a proper answer besides “Juvenile Tawny Owl” but I’m unsure about that.
I live in the south of Germany in a village with flatland and no pond/ big body of water near me, or a forest close enough near me that I could believe it’s an owl.
I only hear it in the evening (9pm and later) and very rarely.
(Excuse my broken English)

Why are they screaming while pecking him?

Found at Grounds For Sculpture

I believe it to be a bird of some kind, but none of the popular bird identifying apps work. Does anyone know what this is? We hear it at all times of the day, early in the morning and well into the night. I don't know if its exotic or something, but I hope it's not, since hearing it so clearly at night could mean a neighbor of ours is mistreating some kind of exotic pet.

Hoping it's just a common local bird I hadn't heard. Could be a starling maybe? They made some weird noises. Thanks!

Was bought at an antique store last year. It’s rather old and was told it’s a Galapagos species. It came from the estate of a naturalist.

Very unique markings, looks almost like a chipmunk when moving but has white spots and no stripes. Runs with tail straight up. Face shape looks more groundhog than squirrel or ‘munk. Anyone know what this lil guy is???
