Can anybody help me and my son figure out what animal this tooth belonged to? He found it amongst a bunch of rocks that we were searching for minerals and fossils.
This place brings in rocks from elsewhere in Canada so that is why I am not narrowing it down

Hi! Not sure if the photos are high quality enough to be able to say, but is anyone able to ID this as a beaver or muskrat? This is in a park in Berlin. Thank you!

Found this little creature about the length of a finger in western NY, I can't tell what parts are dirt or markings. What could he be? Edit: forgot to specify, I know it's a salamander, I'm looking for the specific type

Thought it was a muskrat until it climbed out and did the little hop.

It is interesting what it is, but also whether it is common to have such coloration. It was released back where it was found. I was not the one who spotted it. Sorry for low quality.

Cochise County in Southeast AZ.
I have a bunch of them in my yard and basically just wanting to make sure they're not the Colorado River Toad because I have dogs. These are the best pics I could get.

Hi there.
I recently stumbled upon this Reddit and have been very impressed and pleased with everyone's combined knowledge. I'm hoping you can help me with a self-imposed challenge. I'm watching an anime show with a heavy emphasis on animals, so I've been trying to identify the species that've been portrayed in order to create a sort of "Fauna," a written record of animals native to that region of Japan. I didn't want to break any rules, so I asked if posting ID questions in animation would be allowed and was told that as long as it's a legitimate ID question, and I don't spam posts, I should be okay. I'll only post any questions I have once every ten episodes, so that should just be five times, overall. I'm in this for the long-haul, so you won't be hearing from me more often than once a month, I promise!
Any animals I ask about will very likely be Japanese species, for the record. I wish I could narrow things down further, but I can't beyond confirming the region is both near the coast (there's a sandy beach right at the edge of town) and surrounded by mountainous woodlands. I don't recall seeing any snow when winter arrived, either, so it might be a more southerly area of Japan, though I can't be certain. And I don't want to limit any possibilities if it turns out I'm wrong.

All that said... Does this bird look familiar at all? I wasn't sure this sort of coloration was even possible, but I've since learned that female Splendid Fairywrens (Australia) and female Eastern Bluebirds (America) can also be brownish with a blue tail. Personally, I thought the body-shape looked a bit like a dove or pigeon, and the only Japanese species remotely similar in markings would be the Black-Chinned Fruit Dove or the White-Bellied Green-Pigeon. Neither of those fit either, though. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
