Can Anyone Identify These Tracks And Scat?

[Disco]

I am new at tracking and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify what animal made these tracks and scat, as the tracks have been pretty obscured in the snow. I live in Storrs, CT (towards the northeastern corner of the state). Thanks in advance for any ideas or info!

Can't really tell the tracks and I'm not familiar with scat. I'm initially thinking feline, coon, or rabbit.

[gryffynklm]

What ever it is it is carnivore. there is fur in the scat.

[Batch]

I'd have guessed rabbit on the prints and a small carnivore on the scat.

[aktrekker]

Agree on the tracks - rabbit.
Scat, some small predator. But there must be some more tracks around, maybe not very visible.

It's not rabbit because rabbits have round tight droppings these are loose and elongated. It looks rather like bob cat or fox scat.

Most people don't realize that rabbits are omnivores, so seeing fur in their scat is very possible, they eat bugs, and smaller rodents than themselves, or a doe will turn on their offspring and eat them, or a buck will come across young and eat them. I have seen does kindle on a cage floor rather than in a nest box, and a buck caged next to her be able to nab a wiggly kit through the cage, or even when they get old enough to hop out of a nest box on their own, a buck manages to kill a kit.

It seems to me often fox scat has berries or small fruit in it, but it sure does look like it Bluerider.

[gryffynklm]

Good point Nell. I misused the word carnivore.

[Atehequa]

Any fisher cats in your neck of the woods?
