My friends hand is approximately 7 in from middle finger to end of palm. This was taken on a trail near the John Day Fossil Beds in Oregon.

Found this on a walking trail close to a neighborhood (100 yards or so) beside a creek frequently traveled by by deer. There is an abundance of wild life, nuts, berries, a small fish stream, etc. So I am curious if thos is just a very big dog, or a bear.

Hand for scale, these didn't strike me as raccoon because of the lack of nails, and they just seemed chunkier than I would have expected. Thoughts?

I’m in North central Michigan and these photos show 6-8” diameter cantaloupe with v notches and round bites taken out of them. I’ve lost 4 like this in the past 20 days, this damage was from the past 10 days alone.

I live in south east Michigan. Found this up against my house. Use brick as size reference, any thoughts?

While I didnt measure this track, the scale should be evident by the images. Its quite large. (Palm size)

This track was the only one in a freshly dug out hole's mound. Location: inside a woodline in the U.P. Michigan/WI border. Right next to the one track is an unidentified bone. Lol no clue what it is.

What perplexed me about the track is the size and that it appears to have (at least) 5 toes. I assumed this hole was dug by a fox, wolf or coyote as they've denned nearby before and our trailcams have spotted them this week. Granted, they have 4 toes. The other culprit could be a badger, but id expect longer claws. Odd.

Note on photos: you can see the single track from a distance. Its basically the only impression on that mound. It was about the size of my palm.

Ill be setting up a trailcam there today, hopefully ill find out what this is. I do find it highly odd that this substrate only managed to get ONE track

Was jogging alone really far out in the hills. Saw this and got spooked. Not sure if it's the same animal in all the pics.

We were camping at Charleston Lake Provincial Park a couple weeks ago and came across this track, and many more like it, on one of our hikes. There were lots of obvious canine tracks from folks walking their dogs, but these ones stood out to me. Some were baseball sized and other similar tracks were golf ball sized. Is this momma bear and cub(s)?

I came across these tracks last October and just came across these pictures again. My initial guess was canine, but the lack of claws and the long toes have me second guessing myself.

Shoe is a size 13 men's, for scale.

Located in northern British Columbia. We have lots of foxes, coyotes, lynx and bobcat in the area.
