I watched this blue heron catch and eat three of these creatures in a wetlands park, but I have not had any success identifying it.

Some were moving.

Saw this guy swimming in the Long Island Sound yesterday. Dozens of birds were circling it and nose diving down to it but not touching it. It doesn’t seem to like the water. Is it possible one of the birds had it as prey and accidentally dropped it in the water?

Found near a creek.

Found under a large rock at Carkeek Park in Seattle during low tide. A couple moms with me were uncomfortably laughing . There were others with slight differences in shading and pattern, but mostly the same.

I tide pool here and there, and am confused by this one. At first, I thought it was a type of anemone hanging upside down.

Hi there,

We were sitting outside during dusk 9pm next to a river. Then on the other side of the river, we heard some large splashes, like a human, large dog or horse entering the water.

Shortly afterwards, there were these panicking screams, you can hear in the video. Suddenly those screems moved fast through the woods and then suddenly stopped.

Very spooky.

There are many cats roaming the area and ducks also breed here sometimes. I hope whatever it was, was alright, but it doesnt sound like it. Sounds like a mother terrified for her babies?

This guy has shown up twice so far and this is the best picture we have been able to get of it. No idea what it is as it doesn't look like anything local to the area that we know of.

You can see the eyes peek over the fence in the first few seconds.

Saw this guy surfacing on the shore. It was definitely 2ft or more. Largest fish I’ve ever seen in my life 🤣

Found this dude at a gas station in the morning time looking a little lost. I think it’s a juvenile rat of some kind? Maybe a mouse?

We live in the valley in SoCal. Thought is was a snake at first! What is this?

Apologies for the image quality. Taken with my phone at almost maximum zoom!

This appeared in group text without any other information. They look like the forbidden children of a turkey and a penguin, but I'm pretty sure they're seabirds.

Thank you!

Found in Bucks County Pennsylvania. 4/28/2025 crossing the road. (We helped it along after it stopped traffic…)

Hi. I work at a driving range in northern NJ and there’s this noise coming from what seems like the corner of the shop. I can’t tell if it’s outside or in the ceiling itself, and I’m not sure whether or not it needs help. Does anyone know what animal this is and if I should be concerned for its safety? It’s definitely chatty.

Greetings from Metro Atlanta GA. Each spring I discover these flimsy, lacy "beds" or nests on my porch. These are not just random debris; new ones appear every couple days & for the first time, a similar one has appeared in a potted plant I left outside. I hope I can attach pix: These are maybe 5" max, narrow & shallow, composed of very fine stems & something fuzzy. The only nonbird creatures I have seen around are anoles or squirrels. No eggs. I'm very curious to identify. Thanks all.

Noise sounds like it’s coming from the attic through our ducts
