Name This Paw Print

[Wham-O]

Hi Gang...
Just curious if anyone has any idea what this paw print is from?
Sorry for the poor pic, but the prints were a couple days old and we have had some warm(er) weather here so the snow had started to melt.
My in-laws live on the edge of a small city in central, Ontario, but in a location that you would consider "county". (large lot backing onto woods with a year round flowing creek & surrounded by farms)
2 sets of these paw marks went up the side of their long drive-way (one in front of the other / not side by side) across the back yard of their home and into the bush/wooded area.
Any ideas as to what it is?

Bubbles would call those mini Samsquatch tracks.

The one on the left is a human hand.....the one on the right? Yup Samsquatch....LOL Actually looks like a large dog, perhaps small wolf?

Looks more like a cat track than a canine...hard to say from the pic though.

Looks like a melted dog track to me?

If its not samsquatch I'd have to say an old coyote track. I might be wrong, but it doesn't look round enough for a cat track.

looks canine to me, yote or dog imo

the voids at the front of the toes are from the nails...wouldn't be there with cat tracks

it looks wider than it is long and no claw marks...hard to say with it being melted, could be a dog!

Oh these paw prints were not small by any means. That's what made me stop and look at them.
Looking up animal tracks on the web, I believe it is coyote, as you can hear them howling at night around here.
I just didn't think they'd be THAT big!

It doesn't take long in warm weather for tracks to start looking big in the snow

I saw them fresh...didn't take a pic until a couple days later.

Duckbilled platypus again. Why don't you guys ever believe me ? They are out there.

Eastern cougar kitten.

LOL...
Thanks for every-ones......ummm.........help?
I can see a lot of people here would starve if they had to track & hunt for there food.

 

[billdick]

40 lb dog. No doubt

 

[M&V Gunsmithing]

It's definitely got claws! It's an old canine track, dog, small wolf or a coyote. Boy someone needs glasses...LoL

Looks like a squirrel to me...
