Name that animal track!

1. I’m going to say gray wolf (looks like a badge I had as a Cub Scout).

   1. Good guess. Since we see sharp clawtips I would guess it’s probably not a mountain lion or lynx or other cat. Maybe a bear would be a good guess too?

      1. Bears are longer in the foot I think…

      2. I don’t think a mountain lion or lynx print would show claws.

   2. Yes! It was ringing a bell!

2. I wish it was some kind of felid; but, I would probably be in error…

3. Clearly a canid. Coyote or wolf.

   1. Judging by its size, it would be either a large wolf or dog. Definitely not any sort of cat, raccoon, otter, or bear.

4. raccoon

   1. Big raccoon.

5. Wolverine or otter?

   1. My 1st & 2nd guesses as well. I lean toward wolverine because I’m thinking that the definition and height of the ridges between the toes precludes webbed paws.

   2. Mustelids have all five toes on the ground, but I see only four toes in the picture.

6. It’s a starfish covered in soil.

7. 10 cm – size of a human hand – last time I saw a wolverine it was in a zoo & I was 9 so I cannot recall how big they are, but it is fairly heavy. N

   Front left foot of a wolf…? 😉

8. A forest star fish!!

   1. Close, but no cigar 🙂 x

9. Looks like an otter to me. Or a weasel of some kind.

10. I will go along with others to say wolf track. Wolverines have longer claws & I think they would show 5 digits (but I have not checked that).

    1. You’re right, I was wrong above. This track is clearly not wolverine or otter. I think that pretty much leaves wolf or coyote. By the size I’d say wolf.

       Toe count also rules out bear.

11. Gray wolf.

12. Bigfoot’s dog.

    Its a big dog.

13. I think it’s a bearcat. There are many of them at Northwest Missouri State U.

14. Werewolf (since a wild guess is allowed. :))

    1. Maybe a crocoduck!

15. It’s a river otter track, I think.

16. It has a look of a Wolf Track.
