Anybody know what this is from? It’s similar to rough cut sawdust. Just kinda crumbles. Southwest Pennsylvania.

Looks a lot like beaver scat.

I would have to send one of those to the wife though and say, “Look what I almost stepped in.”

Edit: there is a banner on the top of the page here, https://www.inaturalist.org/guide_taxa/335811, take a look at the last photo on the right, will have to scroll right a little.

It sure does. Only thing is, no bodies of water around.

We are about two miles from running water but we had a drought about 15 years ago and had a beaver show up at one of our tanks, shortly after that a nutria. In all my life we have never had either before or since and neither were harmed.

They probably pooped along the way.

From the naturalist guide above, there's a strong indication that it is a beaver.

I’m sorry, but all I can think of right now is the Cheech and Chong skit about dog sh1t.
