Paw Print

[Spencer]

This didn't look like a canine paw print to me. I found them in my driveway yesterday. Any thoughts?

My guess would either be a large cat (puma, or possibly someones escaped large cat pet) or a big dog (rott, saint bernard etc.)

Spence -

A buddy of mine who lives in the hills overlooking the Napa Valley out here in Californy, sent me the attached series of picts taken at his place recently. Wonder if you guys have something in common...

Spence,

looks like a large dog.
The cats retract their claws and this photo appears to show a set of claws.

Here are a few links of info:

Uuummmmm

I'd rather find a snake coiled up under a pile of wood over here, than come across one of them over there.

Looks like bear track to me.

Could be black bear....they are in Michigan I believe.

Neil,

You've got experience with those snakes, eh? Sounds like you're getting them under control. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Here's a link I found a while back comparing canine to feline tracks <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Rapids/7076/caninevsfeline.html>Tracks</A>

My seven year old correctly identified some racoon tracks yesterday! It was a proud day for me /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
