help identify these tracks?

Spoolin18 · Sep 12, 2011

Well, me and my gf was camping recently when we stumbled upon these tracks, I'm pretty sure I know what one set is but the other set has me a bit confused..the larger ones.

I noticed what looks like claw marks on the larger one..I do believe the smaller one is a dog/coyte or a bobcat. The smaller one was bigger than a housecat, the second one was about the size of a human hand.

The one with the claws I would think is a coyote/wolf judging by the claws since cats can retract their claws. Therefore, I would say the second could be a bobcat/lynx/cougar. Hard to tell when viewing on my phone.

Cougar prints are at LEAST the size of a hand, those cats are huge.

It appears to my highly trained eyes to be the ever so elusive eastern European Jackalope print. This is the only known mammal in the world that has both male and female sex organs and reproduces by laying it's eggs underwater. While normally very doscile, they can become quite aggressive if approached by males of any other mammalian species. Count yourself in the lucky few who were this close to this tiny creature and weren't gored half to death by the angry beast's lethal antlers...
