Deer Poop vs Bear Poop: How to Tell the Difference #3544357 (License: Personal Use)

This close-up image shows a cluster of dark, moist, pellet-like scat on a gravel-and-pine-needle forest floor-typical of woodland habitats. The droppings are irregularly shaped, somewhat clumped, and contain visible fibrous plant material, suggesting a herbivore or omnivore diet. Their size and segmentation help distinguish between deer (smaller, more uniform pellets) and black bear (larger, looser, often containing berries or nuts).
