I think it might be Cougar. I have seen the prints of a big cat around our tanks. I just have not seen enough to be sure. It's old but maybe someone can help. Thanks!

The size and shape of it says cat. That's just an educated guess, cat sometimes turn white. Cats do not always cover their scat.

Not an expert by no means. But have read here that cat scat is more tappered on the ends than coyote scat.
stomp on it and see if it's full of dear hair or rabbit hair.
 
There are always exceptions but cats usually at least make one scratch or swipe at covering their scat, or beside it. This is old enough that the scratch in dirt may be gone, though it doesn't look like any was made. Unlikely to be cat.

As to size and shape, that varies so much it doesn't tell much unless we've been observing scat from a particular species regularly enough to know what most of it looks like in that area at that time of year. It changes even with the same animal depending on what its been eating, its health, lots of things. Bears go from logs to squirts, deer from puddle patties to pellets, cats from runny messes to tapered cylinders, and coyotes drop many sizes, shapes and textures depending on what they've been eating.

Geeze you guys, I can't believe it, a guy stops off and takes a break, eats a few powdered doughnuts, leaves a deposit and drops his smokes. Next thing I know, I'm looking at my own poop on the internet. Just gimme back my smokes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
 
It is really difficult to determine with great authority, so this is the place where my guess is as good as anyone's: It's that danged Chupacabra again! Yepper, Texas ! ...... Chupacabra !
