I forgot to include rats on the list of mammal pests around here. Although I've not personally seen one in my yard, I know they must be around. Wish I could afford to have a rat terrier, but I can barely afford my own keep at the moment.

Very mysterious. I didn't see anything in the photos that would identify the culprit. having lived in the Bay Area for two and a half decades I'd like to think I knew all the critters that lived there. My best guess is a rat. they will sometimes chew random plant matter if they don't have access to water.
Barring that it could only be a Chupacabra.
