I've been running across some very fresh tracks in the morning. One I know is a racoon, the other one has very round pads, still has claws showing (so I don't think it's a cat) and the tracks seem to verlap each other, such as when one foot lifts up, the other one sets down in the same place. Opossum maybe?, but I did catch a faint whiff of skunk this morning... I didn't think skunks had pads this round, though.
Any ideas? They come from the back and walk alongside where I let my dogs out in the morning. Don't want any surprises in the morning, not unless I'm the one doing the surprising [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Maybe a fox???? What kind of skunks do U have up there! Different species have different prints! Maybe a sketch or a pic would help I.D. it! A possum has more like little hands that look weird!
Hmmm, maybe, without the bottom pad. I should have snapped a pic. It was hard to say because most of the time the footprints overlapped.
The day I saw the tracks I couldn't identify was a day before I smelled skunk. I know there are skunks in this area, but I'm not sure that is what left the tracks that morning.
