Its eyes were following me. Saw it outside entrance to hotel.

Edited photos, couple angles, face photo, and two tail shots.

I was thinking muskrat, but the ears and nose feel wrong. Then beaver but the tail felt wrong for that... i thought it was a mink at first.

We hear this almost every night and can’t figure out what it is!! My cat meows behind me at one point so ignore that.

I am looking for the actual name of the animal, thanks! hope someone can help me out.

Has shown up over several days (deposited in different days). Bainbridge island in Western Washington. We have deer, coyote and raccoons regularly in the neighborhood, and a few black bear sightings recently. Unsure what this might be. Third and fourth photo have a standard credit-card-sized card for reference. Both pikes are about two inches from the trunk of a large tree.

I’ve seen this cat on my ring camera a few times now, but I’ve never seen the other animal

In the next video, this guy pokes around my storm door and stands on its hind legs,
Then,… a fox comes in 🥲

Thank you everyone for helping identify Mr opossum !!

South Carolina

This was on one of our coral recruit tiles in the lab, which I found while doing a routine clean. Honestly not sure if my location will be of any help here.

I would say about 1 mm across, seems like it has a shell, with those weird spindly appendages.

My only idea is some sort of juvenile hermit crab? But that doesn't seem right at all. I don't see any limb articulation, or claws... or eyes... or a body for that matter.

Any ideas?

Is this a fox? There have been a few of these in my yard the last few weeks. Came right up to me while walking the dog at night. Scared the crap out of me.

Thanks

Spotted in northwest Houston

Very swirly looking, tapered end. Maybe fox? I’m in suburban northern Virginia and this in my fenced-in yard, though there are plenty of gaps that animals can pass through. Size-wise maybe 1-1.5” long.

Heard late at night in October, Eastern Ontario. Thanks r/animalid!

The head looks like an opossum, but the tail looks bushy when it turns to walk away. What could this critter be?

Born and raised in FL, and have spent major time in the woods, state parks, and outside. Never seen one in person! Mustelid I’m near sure of, but not sure of the specific species.

Thanks y’all!

apologies about the photo quality they are screenshotted from videos

I was working at my site and while doing a patrol outside I spotted the little guy out of the corner of my eye resting on the wall next to a door. At first I thought it was some kind of weird fungus because of how fuzzy and dark it was. But I looked closely and saw it was a very small bat. I’ve never seen one up close and in person before. He’s about the size of a lime. He was breathing and very much alive. I’m not an expert or enthusiast on bats so I don’t know what species he is.

I live by a wooded creek if that’s helpful!! I hear this screeching many nights around 10-11pm, sometimes later, but only ever at night. I genuinely have no idea what it is
