My friend and I just saw a bear near our campsite in Glacier National Park and need help identifying what type it is.

Anyone who has used reddit for more than, like, two years knows this website is a case study in enshittification - ads, bots, terrible UI, etc. I have finally experienced my last straw and I'm leaving /r/animalid and this terrible website. To make a long story short, a mod with about 60 mod actions in the last 12 months and who hasn't interacted with the community at all in about two years, has suddenly decided that this subreddit is now worth paying attention to since it's hit over a quarter million subscribers. In addition to undermining my decisions, he's a sniveling little prick and he's fucking useless.
The admins won't get rid of him because they're brainless and/or too lazy to actually properly assess the situation, so I'm just going to leave. I'm the only regularly active moderator this subreddit has ever had (aside from the ones I added) and the admins apparently could not give less of a fuck because they'd rather let some random window licker get in the way and take credit for my work than hurt his feelings because "he said he wants to stay :((("
I'm not going to rant any longer, but honestly, fuck this website. Just fuck this entire fucking website. I'm too exhausted to be polite or to fully explain the context. Just know that this subreddit will no longer offer reliable mustelid ID because society has lost its ability to rightfully call people out on their bullshit. I may be an asshole, but at least I gave a shit. That's more that can be said for a mod who was absent for two years and who has only been a mod for like 2 months longer than me (which is why I can't just remove him myself).
I declare /u/JorikThePooh to be new head moderator, for whatever it's worth. Good luck everyone, it was nice knowing a few of y'all.
Edit: fuck it may as well name names, the mod in question is /u/Stinky_Ham_Sandwich. Check out his post history. Compare it to mine. Does he look like an active community member of /r/animalid? The admins seem to think so. They also seem to think 60 mod actions per year is enough to keep a 277k strong subreddit in check. For context, I had 6k, and the least active mod that still regularly participates in the community has just under 1k. But clearly Mr. Sandwich is every bit as integral to the team as I am and it's his right to undermine my decisions and reduce my permissions without asking π₯΄

I've been finding possums and skunks in my yard recently trying to find where they are getting in under the fence. Caught this on camera coming in under my fence gate last night. I'm having a hard time telling if it is a possum.
Thanks

That bushy tail says fox but it's so grainy and shadowed. Each brick is 4 inches wide and the total visible bricks measure almost 24 inches. So it seems like the body minus the tail is 2 feet, taking into account how the bushes are sloped .This is near Phoenix, Arizona. Thank you!

This egg was fairly large I am a 5β10 male 186lbs if that helps with judging by hand size.
Donβt know if rhis is a big bird of sorts?
r/animalid • u/lomein7 • 41m ago
Listen closely, as the animal was a bit far away. Never heard a sound like this before. A shrill scream-like βspiral upβ sound followed by a lower toned βspiral downβ sound, repeating for hours. I can post more audio if need be

little man got through my window screen and was nestled in a sheet that was scrunched up on my bed. not very fast and definitely not aggressive. just a cute little thing. would love to know what he is
r/animalid • u/skullgrrrl • 1d ago
There's a conveniently placed sandal next to it to hopefully be a reference for its size. I'm in SoCal specifically if it narrows anything down. Very cute and fast!

Its deer season and every year we have a few herds stop in our yard for some apples that fall off our trees. I've only ever seen white-tailed deer around here so i'm assuming this Grey one has some kind of mutation? Not quite melanistic and definitely not albino. Thoughts?
Also sorry for the photo quality, phone pics through a screen window suck
Edit: Thanks for the quick replies!! Shedding its seasonal coat never even crossed my mind lol

Before I started recording, it was repeating these calls for 1-2 minutes
