Putative Japanese Badger Scat with Unusually Intact Earthworms and Kaki Flesh Fragments

I found a strange pile of expelled material on the concrete pavement at the foot of a mountain. When I unknowingly came closer, a swarm of flies flew away. Strangely enough, the paste of the discharged mixture was almost odourless to my nose. It didn’t smell like typical faeces nor vomit. The mass of expelled material consisted of many earthworms and several flesh fragments with peel of Kaki Persimmon (Diospyros kaki, family Ebenaceae) fruit. No seeds of kaki were found in the goo. There was no kaki tree standing nearby. All of the earthworms were no longer pink but whitish and dead/motionless. Note that the earthworms had been swallowed up almost intact by the predator without being chewed into pieces. Unlike in a pellet regurgitated by birds, no pieces of bones, exoskeletons, hairs and feathers were contained in the gooey dropping. The grassy soil had been freshly dug out along the edge of the concrete pavement near the discharged material in question. It looked like the aftermath of foraging behaviour by either a Japanese badger (Meles anakuma, family Mustelidae) or a Japanese wild boar (Sus scrofa leucomystax, family Suidae). But no footprints nor hoofprints were found on the soil. The Japanese badger is known to "suck" dugout earthworms without biting very much. But what I used to find at communal latrines of Japanese badgers was smooth paste of diarrhea (without undigested food) with the colour of very dark brown, which was totally different from this one. Piecing together all of the information, I presume that it was from a Japanese badger. After eating a dropped fruit of Kaki Persimmon somewhere near human dwellings and then preying on lots of underground earthworms along the pavement at the foot of a mountain, the badger defecated (not vomited) undigested food here somehow. Captured in the sunny midafternoon (around 14:15 PM) of mid-November 2024 in Japan. For a full story (text in Japanese); https://sigma-nature-vlog.blogspot.com/2026/02/blog-post_26.html
