Scat and Track Identification
If you encounter tracks or scat, please take a photo and send it to us! It would be super helpful if you had a ruler or even a coin to place next to the sighting so that we can get an idea of its size. It is extremely difficult, or even impossible, to identify the animal who made a track or scat, even for us! We’ve included the identification guide below for you, but we know it is very difficult to identify an animal in this way, so please send us a picture when you find either sign in the wild.

Additionally, if you spot something but have trouble identifying a mammal species of interest in your neighborhood or backyard, please refer to the guide below. And if you’re still not sure, always feel free to send us an email citscima@amherst.edu.
