It’s too small and uniform in content for typic bear scat. Also unlikely (though not impossible) to have a bear in suburbia.

My guess is deer with an off stomach. Examples of deer poop not in pellet form. White-tailed Deer Scat

Second guess would be a domestic dog, also with an off stomach.

Agreed, we have a bunch of deer in our yard often and I've seen them leave poop exactly like this.

Thanks,  we have tons of deer, just never seen it not in pellets.   I did also consider large sick dog, but it seemed very large for dog.

oh buddy, I have a medium dog and when she gets into something she's not supposed to, she can s*it a lot in one goopy pile 😖

I seen dog poop look like this if they had something rough to eat.

Agreed- I’ve cleaned up dog poop like this, only in about 50% greater quantity, and inside the house.

Truly shocking the amount of poop that a normal sized dog can excrete…

Thanks, we were considering sick dog. I've never had a larger dog so never seen anything this big from a dog. I'm not sure if the picture isn't doing it justice but it just seemed really huge to be from the normal animals we would expect.

We've only been here a month,  hopefully we haven't made anyone that upset.

I can hear the sound this made hitting the ground.

That’s definitely not a bear. That’s probably a cow patty a deer with an half stomach a dog with an upset tummy or a homeless person took a crap in your yard

How many kurics?

Could be coyote, they get weird poos sometimes just like domestic canines. If they ate something weird out of the trash, or got a bout of giardia

Could be a cat. Ive scooped things out of a litterbox that looks similar

Hard to identify mammal 💩 when things are going poorly for the critter

very reluctant to say bear. id expect significantly more or less of the scat from a bear, specifically w different food remnants.

agreed with majority of the comments in that this is a sick dog. can't say what all it ate, but it's body got wrecked in the process of digesting it & pushed it out way earlier than normal. wouldn't say it's been poisoned or anything, but it's definitely gotten into something it can't digest & will have to defecate out
