I went out to my garage today and found this little pile of gravel right near the garage door, it was not there yesterday.  What type of animal would do this?

 

Dragons.

Animal?....I think not. Your place is haunted.

Dragons?  I think not, I am fairly certain I would know if we had a dragon infestation.  There is a small section of the rubber gasket at the bottom of the garage door that looks like it was chewed maybe 3" long, but that only leave a gap there of about 3/4" or less.  This is very strange.  My dogs have been sniffing around the garage of late, so I think there really might be something like a mouse or chipmunk around - but I can't imagine one of them bringing in rocks, especially not that many in such a short time.  I think the idea of being haunted might be it.

The only logical reason is..... Aliens :cuealienmeme

Garden Gnomes no doubt.

Squirels or chipmunks will do this when they are burrowing a hole. They move the gravel to one place once out of the hole

OK, that makes sense, but this is in the garage which has a solid concrete floor and the driveway next to it is blacktop, so there is not gravel close by.  Will have to do some exploring.

Set up a trail camera.  I did this when I was wondering how the bait disappeared.

...Just Google my handle...

Chupacabras do that kind of thing. Google it. 

So ther is no gravel anywhere in the vicinity of where you found it? I really doubt a critter will bring gravel inside your garage. Chances are something is digging a hole somewhere and came across a bed of gravel and is moving it out of the way in order to proceed. Check for holes inthe surrounding area.

Jersey devil

Its not gravel.  The Easter Bunny is losing her mind. 

Anything under it ?

The only thing under it is a 2"x6" pressure treated wood plank that I have an irrigation pump mounted to.  There are no holes in the garage floor or block wall and nothing with gravel right outside the garage.  I asked my wife if this was some sort of prank and she assured me it was not.  Its very strange.

Tweakers. They were probably looking for something they imagined they dropped and then started counting the stones to make sure they didn't miss a spot.

Blair Witch?

 

It could also be a penguin nest.

 

Yup looks to me like you got a penguin infestation. Gonna need to get yourself a polar bear. That'll clear that right up.

Don't do it! I tried this once, and had to get a killer whale to get rid of the polar bear. My water bill is astronomical.

Thanks a good point, perhaps adopting an Eskimo.

i'm guessing king sized rats building a home under your garage slab.

It's the NSA excavating for cameras and listening devices.

Thanks, got a good laugh out of all of these.  A friend assures me it was caused by Mason ants, which are related to carpenter ants.

I've seen groundhogs claw though a cider block wall and push Quarry Process out from under a garage floor, so I would double check that something hasn't made a new hole somewhere. That gravel looks to me like it was under your floor and was somehow pushed out.

Ants moved those rocks?

 

 

 

I'm sticking to my chupakabra story, unless you can prove me wrong!

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords...
