Porcupine?

 

[Machingeaneer]

Wolf, coyote or dog. Hard to tell size in pictures

 

[Taudisio]

I tried to google. I didn’t come up with anything similar that made sense. It sank in a lot compared to the persons print with tennis shoes. Scratching my head.

Armadillo, final answer



Seriously though… I think it’s porcupine

 

[wind gypsy]

The length or the pad or what kind of looks like a dew claw behind it threw me off but I’m horseshit at track id.

 

[wind gypsy]

Wouldn’t have guessed a porky would have that big of feet but never looked at em close.

Porcupine has 5 toes on the rear feet and the pictures look like 4 toes in all, did you see any with 5?

That’s what was throwing me off but they say sometimes the 5th toe/claw is not visible. I would have also said maybe wolverine but I don’t think k there’s any of those left in MN…

These pics are from my mom asking me what it was. Wolverine was my first response, mostly in jest. Thought maybe badger.

Yeah, it’s possible. I saw a wolverine intimidating a raccoon on my property in an area where there aren’t supposed to be any. The raccoon was as surprised as I was

Canine family.

 

[survivalistd]

Chupacabra.

 

[CRJR45]

River Otter , is my guess?

 

[wind gypsy]

Best track ID guy I know personally texted that he thinks its a wolf.

This is on a gravel road.

 

[Machingeaneer]

If a wolf had a bum leg maybe it would make the impression behind the track like that?

If you take out that rear indentation on the last pic I'd say wolf, but that back part is something else.
