What does a coyote scat look like? Here are some photos of scats that have had mtDNA sequencing.

Next in our scatology series..... the mighty coyote. The western coyote, that resides here in the Cascade Range, is significantly smaller than the eastern coyote so their scats are smaller as well.

Most scat identification books, such as Mark Elbroch's Mammal Tracks and Sign give a size range of 0.75 and 1.5 inches diameter. It is generally segmented with tapered end (not twisty ends like a weasel, or blocky ends like a bobcat).

Below are some photos of coyote scats as confirmed by DNA analysis.
