Your mission, should you choose to accept it....

Any guesses as to what animal left scat at the edge of my yard? Bear or something else? Two snapshots are tucked behind the cut-tag. It looks darker in person.

( Yes, it's scat. Do not click before breakfast. )

One thing's for sure, it's not from the Jack Russell Terrier who lives next door and sometimes comes down the hill for a visit and poke around the yard.
