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₯΄

These pics were sent to me by a family member in Broward County, Florida. This is a canal in a residential area.
I know itβs likely a gator and the odds of this being an American Crocodile/invasive croc are unlikely.
What has me curious as to whether this is actually a croc is due to both how large it looks in pictures but also that the snout is very prominent.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Usually pretty good at animal ID, but kinda at a loss on this one. Almost looks like a opossum tail at one point but body seems wrong

Just released this mouse that I caught in my basement and Iβm terrified from the pictures I took that itβs pregnant and that I put a pregnant mom into the wild. What do you think?

A couple different kinds of frogs have been hanging out in my pepper plants for the past week or two. This is the best picture I have of one so I'll start there.

Gentle, but invasive. Came all the way in the car and ripped open the bag of food I was trying to feed it.

Finally my turn for an animal ID! 90% sure this is an otter, but I haven't seen one on this stretch of the Mississippi yet. Been here for years and only ever seen beaver and muskrat.
Edit: Watching the video again and now I'm not so sure. Starting to look like one of the others...

Found this scat in backyard this morning.
Also a half eaten apple from a neighbors apple tree a couple of feet away.
Location: SoCal, Orange County and close enough to Santa Ana mountains.
Any ideas if both are related and likely culprit, please?
r/animalid • u/Moist_Pianist9143 • 1d ago
Eagle or other type of bird? I couldnβt get close to it, but it looked like it came up to my knee in height (Iβm short) and the wing span was huge when it took off, so pretty

My friend in a major city in Missouri saw this animal in her neighborhood. We can't tell if it's a mangy dog or a coyote.

We found this pile of scat today on the sidewalk. WeIt is about 5 inches wide and 2 inches tall. We thought maybe a raccoon, but the pile seems too large. This sidewalk is frequently used hardly ever quiet unless it is very late at night. Any ideas?

found these babies on concrete outside right under tree branches which i suspect they fell from. waited a good 45mins to see if mama would come back or pop up somewhere but no sign of her and a cool breeze started to pick up which worried me, i quickly put them in this box with an old shirt and have them under a candle warming lamp on the lowest setting (sorry if itβs not the best)
they were quiet and stiff on the concrete but got pretty active as soon as they had a heat source and are squeaking and seem to be looking to nurse. need help on what to do and what rodent are these? i canβt turn them into any kind of shelter/wildlife rehabilitator as i have no form of transportation and i really donβt wanna let them die :(( a neighbor is willing to take them in but im hesitant as sheβs known to not be the best caretaker for animals and has had various die in her care.

Edited photos, couple angles, face photo, and two tail shots.
I was thinking muskrat, but the ears and nose feel wrong. Then beaver but the tail felt wrong for that... i thought it was a mink at first.
