See my observation here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/155903339 for the workings of a beaver. I’ve annotated the “Evidence of presence” as “track,” but it seems like there should be another category for this. Thoughts?

There isn’t an annotation value that fits. If you hover over “Track” you’ll see that its definition is for an impression made in the ground or snow.

Note also that there is a specialized observation field “beaver evidence” that includes “chewing” as one choice. (There are a lot of other fields related to beavers as well.)
