These are from a large herbivore, where was the photo taken? what habitat? more details please. Not a badger but as artdemole suggests could be from a pig (wild boar) or horse, donkey etc. |

The site was near Skipton along the Canal and next to a woodland but in a grassy field. There was only this pile. So suspect wild boar not an option? No evidence of horse/donkey although the field has been grazed by sheep but it looks nothing like sheep droppings or does it? |

a sheep can leave a surprisingly large pile of poo especially after worming or similar although we have a shetland pony and it looks very like that also

Thank you. After much 'ruminating' I think I am going with sheep! | | |
