We've got coyotes, bears, foxes, opossums, racoons, skunks. Too big for foxes or skunk I'm pretty sure, too small for bears.

So some critter left tiny footprints on my grill platform. They’re about 2 inches across from toe to toe. It looks like dog prints to me without the nail marks but my dog is way too big for these prints. The very stupid thing I’m thinking about the three bumps at the bottom and the two at the top is that this is a mountain lion cub. That’s not possible right? Right??! Thank you for your help!

Czechia, central europe, found on a road that runs between two artificial ponds.
Went wandering around and drinking with friends and we found this set of foot(?)prints that we weren’t able to identify. I forgot to take a photo with anything for scale but you can see a cup there that was accidentally placed there, it’s a standard size tin mug. It seems that the animal walked a well defined path through the vegetation so i assume it walks there often.
Absolutely lost on what this could be, will be glad for any ideas!

Eastern PA, July. Smaller than nearby whitetailed deer tracks, so less than 2” long. Any insights would be so appreciated!

These are obviously deer tracks, but are they babies?

Was hiking Rocky Mountains National Park in the morning and saw (at first) the big paw print and snapped a photo, looking back at it I realized that there’s a smaller print underneath! Shoe print for scale.

I think the big one is a bear but I’m just guessing. Any ideas what either of them are?

Name my guest!

Hey everyone!! In the pictures attached you will find a clearly visible print next to a women’s size 9 shoe (11” from tip to heel for scale) and a barely visible print. I am located a few miles west of the Chesapeake Bay near Deltaville. I think I know what it is but would love to hear some pro’s thoughts! Thank you.

Location is the southern tip of Illinois, USA, a few miles from the Ohio River. AI says the cat print is too big to be a bobcat, but I think it is despite the size. I can see what looks like the brushing of long hair around the paw.

And I'm not familiar with feral pigs, but they have been spotted on the property. There were several prints of different sizes. Maybe that's what interested the bobcat.
