Track ID Please

[Elmo]

Thanks!

[josephmrtn]

bout what size were they? coyote? coon? any other marks?

[Elmo]

Sorry, I don't have any other information on this. It actually isn't my picture. Someone posted this up on facebook and said it was rabbit tracks. I am pretty confident those are not rabbit tracks. Not raccoon either. I know what they are not but I can't figure out what they are.

Has to be Mountain Lion....

It looks like the camera was up close to the track and it's a squirrel.

that is one HELL of a rabbit!!!!!!!!!!!! i would say yote or something close to that... its obvious they arent cat tracks

Definitely squirrel. The hind feet will be ahead of the front feet when it comes to rabbit. Most certainly NOT rabbit.

[13BVET]

These are rabbit tracks. Note how the hind legs (feet), are ahead of the front.

Size in inches would help, but the attached should help you. Cats never show their nails, yotes/fox/dogs will.

[josephmrtn]

looks like fisher....

[Elmo]

I thinking either fisher or gray fox.

[oldkevin]

skunk

I thinking either fisher or gray fox.

I have seen many Reds in Westchester & Putnam. Never a gray.

Definitely not canine or feline... Definitely not skunk or rabbit or possum ..... Not knowing the SIZE of the prints makes it tougher....Squirrel...maybe, but I don't think so....Doesn't look like any coon track I've ever seen.. Could be fisher... Mink tracks and fisher tracks are similar, except fisher is a lot bigger...Wish we had a size comparison.

I have seen many Reds in Westchester & Putnam. Never a gray.

That doesn't mean they aren't present...Greys tend to hang in thick, brushy cover and don't frequent open areas nearly as much as reds, so you don't see them as often as reds. They are also more nocturnal and are seldom seen out and about in daylight.

Years ago I used to hunt foxes at night. One night my partner and I called in 18 grey foxes .

All that said, it is definitely not a grey fox track, nor any other type of canine.
