In remnant of dry slough. Saw an N. fasciata on the nearby bank an hour or so later as I walked back; it took cover before I could photograph it.

Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)Observer
rahulzahulDescription
Very confused, was as big or bigger than my Vizsla and the exact same color (golden brown) - didn't get a good look at the tail, but it was large with a distinctive head shape and swam fast. Perhaps an escaped capybara from an exotic game ranch? Or maybe just a massive Nutria or beaver? Not sure!

I'm hoping this might be a fox rather than a coyote. Seemed rather small.

Wolverine (Gulo gulo)Observer
faerthenDescription
A surprise visitor shows up on a marten researcher's camera trap.
This was the first documented wolverine in California since 1922, and caused quite a flap.
DNA from hair told us he was more related to populations in the Rocky Mountains than to California museum specimens. Isotopes in the hair told us where he'd been drinking his water: he started out in the Sawtooth of Idaho.
Could a wolverine walk that far, over freeways and developed areas? A radio-collared one made a similar trip from Canada to Wyoming the next year...

Went back for more photos and include some metrics.
The ski pole is just over 170 cm.
About 1 or 2 cm of snow fell since the photos from two days ago.
The tape has about 110 cm showing the line in the snow is at 100 cm.
