This image shows a moist, dark-colored scat deposit on a gravelly forest floor, densely embedded with small, round, reddish-brown seeds-likely from chokecherries or similar berries. The texture is lumpy and cohesive, suggesting recent deposition by a large omnivorous mammal such as a black bear. A small spider rests atop the scat, indicating minimal disturbance since deposition.
