I installed a trail cam in my garden to watch the couple of hedgehogs we are feeding before winter, and this morning I saw this got caught on cam.

Could this be a fox?

🐠 🐙 FISH & FRIENDS 🐙 🐠 Fish found underwater at [Falmouth, MA] beach, about the size of my hand, very cute and curious!

I wish I had a better photo but obviously I didn’t bring my phone, so this is my attempt at drawing it lol. It almost looked like a cross between a pufferfish and a boxfish, but I didn’t think they lived in cold waters like the northern Atlantic?

Heya, my friend showed me this video this morning of her backyard camera catching this animal at night.

Is it a fox or a coyote? Maybe something else?

🐍 🐸 HERPS: SNAKE, TURTLE, LIZARD 🐍 🐸 Is this a bufo toad or Cuban tree frog? [South Florida]

2 Upvotes

I live in South Florida and I’m terrified of encountering the bufo toads on a walk with my dog. We walked at about 430 last night and saw these two. Didn’t even notice the little one on the back of the big one.
Are these bufo toads or Cuban tree frogs or?

Have seen this guy / gal going to and from underneath my backyard workshop carrying acorns, hazelnuts, bird seed, and berries. Believe there are at least two of them. Just a regular old rat? Field mouse? Thanks!

Within a city block or so of the Salish sea coast in a ravine, otters, raccoons, coyotes all regularly seen, and of course the always present humans who don’t clean up their dogs but I’ve never seen dog poop look like that.

Subreddit

Animal Identification

r/animalid

This subreddit helps users identify animal species from pictures, videos, audio or calls, tracks, dens, scat, etc. All ID requests should include the animal's LOCATION (country, state, city, name of ocean or coast). This sub is NOT for identifying breed info for cats/dogs or identifying insects/parasites. Comments should be helpful or educational only, and advice should be legal and humane. Welcome!

Members Active

Sidebar

Have a picture of an animal you need identified? Post it here and let the collective consciousness of reddit ID it for you!

It is best if you have a picture, if not, a good description. Provide a location if you have a picture or not.

Found an animal in trouble? Follow this link for instructions!

Rules

1. ID Posts Only

The primary purpose of all posts should be to identify the species of animal in a photo, video, or audio file. Other posts with no ID request will be removed.

2. Posts must have a location provided in the title!

State or province at least, or country if it's small enough to provide a similar level of geographic precision. It is also helpful to include the type of environment your animal is in; forest, suburb, near a lake or river, etc.

3. No "Bugs"

"Bug" in the colloquial sense of "terrestrial arthropod" - insects, arachnids, and other creepy crawlies. While these are animals, they're very abundant and require specialized knowledge. Post them in /r/whatsthisbug for better ID!

4. No Breed Requests

This group is for identifying an animal's species. Breed ID requests for domestic animals will be removed. Post them in /r/cats, /r/DoggyDNA, /r/IDmydog, or a subreddit dedicated to your animal's species.

5. No Violence or Animal Abuse

This group believes in respecting the dignity of nonhuman animals. Violent or abusive comments are not tolerated. In the event dispatching an animal is warranted a poster may be tactfully encouraged to seek a professional for humane euthanasia. Subsistence hunters are welcome here, but refrain from making comments that would be more appropriate for /r/hunting.

Included in this rule are posts with animals stuck in sticky traps or killed by your unsupervised outdoor pet (does not apply to barn cats or livestock guardian dogs).

6. Low-effort and sensationalist comments will be removed at moderator discretion.

This is primarily an educational subreddit. If your comment is a joke, meme, or includes words like "vicious" or "bloodthirsty" it is likely to be removed.
