The message
from Jangchub contains these words:

My husband discovered two huge poops on top of our shed. The shed has
tall shrubs near it, and is also accessible to the fence near it so
that's how this animal got up there, but does anyone know what would
do this? The poop is larger than a cats poo, and it doesn't have the
characteristic of an opossum or raccoon, but what could it be? We
have had a female fox raise her pups two years in a row under the
shed, but these poos are too big for fox. I'd say they are about the
size of a medium dog. Ideas?

My medium-sized dog's poops are the same size as fox poop.

Foxes can jump or climb anything a cat can jump or climb, so I'd say
they could reach the shed roof. and they actually prefer to poop on
something raised up. Fox poop usually has a narrow twizzly bit at one
end, raised like a little question mark, and that distingusihes it from
cat or dog. If you scratch one open with a bit of stick, you may see
tiny bones, and the cases of beetle wings.

Yeah, I think it's the fox or a raccoon. It's definitely not cat or
dog.
