Apologies for the not-very-sharp pics.
Is this an albino skunk?
If so, what are natural predators of skunks and how can an animal with this fur color survive without ability to properly hide?

My mother took this in southern Illinois.

Any ideas?

My vote is cat, my mom thinks fox and dad thinks dog.

Wondering if this is some kind of mix or just a large coyote. Looked about the size of a husky. Spotted in Toronto this morning

Spotted this white squirrel in Massachusetts. I’m assuming it’s an eastern gray squirrel, but I’m curious about the coloration. Is this leucism, albinism, or another color morph? Its eyes appear dark in the photos I think.

Saw these at 7:20 in the morning. A lot of chasing, wrestling, and screeching.

This guy hangs out at our house and is WAY bigger than the common rabbits you see

"Anyone know what this guy is is?" I saw them behind a toilet in [Death Valley National Park]

This is my grandmas pet turtle named marge. marge is a rescue who was originally found outside in the late 90's possibly early 2000 and used as a class pet until she was attacked by someones pet dog while in their backyard. my grandma has taken care of her since, marge was around before i was! my family claim that she is an eastern box turtle but i don't see it. i suspect she may be something else or just look different due to poor care. it's a possibility i will inherit her and I've been encouraging my grandma to do more enrichment for her and take better care of her so i feel like knowing what she is will help me figure out her needs and how to get her happier and healthier. thank you if you try :)

any idea what these tracks are? found on my motorcycle gas tank (eastern Washington state)

Hi all, Seen today in Jotunheimen, Norway. Is it a moose? Reindeer? Thanks

Was given a fur rug by my uncle, who inherited from his brother (long deceased). My uncle said his brother probably picked it up in his travels through Mexico or SW United States. It is quite soft, with 2-3” fur and no markings anywhere.

My spouse was walking on our tiny beach and noticed it smelled like rotting fish. Lo and behold, she found this. We live next to a salty inlet/river that feeds into the Atlantic, south of Boston. It’s 4-5 feet long. When I swim at the beach I see fish and crabs and the ocasional horseshoe crab, and of course tons of seagulls, but that’s it. We’ve never seen anything like this or remotely this size. Please assure me there is not a kraken living (or no longer living) in my favorite place to swim????

Caught on a trail cam. We can’t agree on what it is. I personally guess coyote because I thought foxes have fluffier tails but idk shit

Why are they screaming while pecking him?

Family friend found two baby animals on the floor in their chicken coop, she picked them up and put them in a box with a warm water bottle to keep them warm, where they were found. The mom came and got them later that night. Are these baby raccoons or opossums?? They are living in the attic of the shed, because they can hear them cry sometimes. They put a camera out and caught an opossum on the cameras going out of the hole in the attic. These look like raccoons to me but they are saying they are opossums. Someone help us ID please.
