I'm not an expert, but I wonder if those spots are a little large for a small animal like a coon or possum. Coyote's maybe? Are they in areas where a territorial animal might be marking?

The brown spots may be caused by the exhaust of you mower. Zero turns have engines that sit much lower to the ground than standard tractors. If you mow for a while and stop in one spot for a period of time the hot exhaust can burn you lawn if the exhaust is not deflected properly. Also radiant heat from the muffler can cause grass burning if left in the same spot for a period of time. Check to see if these spots are in an area where you may have stopped the mower for a few seconds.
