Can you identify this critter, photographed at the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake!?

In my honest scientific opinion, your "critter" is a soaking wet pinecone. The pointy thing sticking out the front is a broken off twig =)

i hope i helped with your interesting question =)

Frankly, it looks like a young pine cone.

It's a unicorn slug.
