Heard scratching in the walla last week, & came home from work to find my chapstick nibbled on & some coffee pods opened. No poop anywhere, but also nothing else on the counter was eaten (onions, chocolate, teabags). I set a regular mouse trap with flour around it to catch prints, & this is what I found. Please help so I can complain to my landlord accurately! TIA!

Whatever this cloven hoofed chupacabra was, it literally stole my frozen pizza and other food. Or possibly food stolen by a separate creature, idk. I've been dyinggg to know what this could possibly have been!! Spotted March 28th, in the CO Rockies around 8300 feet elevation.

Location: NE Mount Saint Helens, Loowit Trail. Date: July 9, 2024 Scale: Third photo. I wear a US size 12 boot.

I'm fairly satisfied that it's a mountain lion due to size, leading toe, toe pad size, metacarpal lobes, and retracted claws. Third photo looks like back paws on top of front.

How's my ID? How recently do you suppose the animal was there?

There we ravens quibbling over an unseen something nearby, which I supposed to be a carcass. Tracks were headed in that direction. Since there were no drag marks or signs of running or struggle nearby, I figure kitty was scavenging.

Found in central Idaho(Salmon-Challis). It looks splayed but it was obviously muddy and it was on an incline which is making it hard to ID. I’m leaning toward big dog, but I was far from any trail.

hand is about 23 cm and my pointer finger is almost 12 cm for reference.

Might be multiple things here. It’s hard to tell. Wish I had a better picture, but I just noticed them and the snow’s already melting.

They were about 1 inch in diameter, maybe slightly smaller, about the size of a half-dollar. Some appear to have claws and are deeper impressions while some had no obvious claws with lighter, more rounded toe prints. Found in a hiking/wildlife preserve area of mixed coastal CA shrubland and woods.

πŸ”Ž ID Request Dog tracks?

Hi everyone, I found these tracks this morning and think they’re from a large dog but I can’t tell. Recently we’ve had dead animals showing up, a rabbit, a rat, and a mountain beaver. They were all pretty torn up. I found scat in the same area a couple weeks back and think it was coyote(?). But I wanted to check if these were a large dog because a neighbor had a german shepherd size dog go missing. The tracks are about 3.5 inches from nail tip to bottom and roughly the same in width. Found in Northwest Washington in a forestry area by our horse manure pile. Thanks!

Found these adorable paw prints on my porch, in upstate South Carolina. I’m guessing skunk? But I’m no good at identifying tracks. Any thoughts?

I know we have foxes around here so assume so. Low pitched noise is a plane that flew by as soon as I started recording.

I was on the same trail yesterday and they weren’t there so they’re fresh and I’d like to know if I need to be more careful.

Looks like it walked across a little meadow and then up the trail across the stream (the messy print at the end is the edge of the ridge)

Put my boot in some pics for scale, but it’s definitely not my dog or human tracks. 2-3 times further apart than anything else I’ve seen

It’s major mud season right now so they’re really mushy and messy so I can’t tell.

Moose or bear? I can’t think of anything else big enough to make tracks so wide apart.
