I traveled to CCNP and took observations regarding mammal diversity. I noticed what appears to be scat of a carnivore - possibly a domesticated canine. I am concluding this notion because of the formation of scat and size. The location of the scat was not far from the trail and thus also leading me to believe it is from a dog.
