Calling all trackers -

Saw this in the snow this morning, and was wondering what happen to cross the yard this morning?

The tracks to the extreme left running vertically appear to be deer tracks, judging from the hoof -like indentations.

The tracks running horizontally that you provided a close-up of appear to be of the bird family, or at least something that travels on two legs, judging from the long gait and single-line track. Unfortunately, the images aren't really hi-res enough for me to make a confirmed identification.

To be totally honest, it looks more like a Human footprint to me, maybe someone playing a joke... I can't think of anything that would make a heel indentation like that except maybe a kangaroo...?

Someone else might totally embarrass me and tell you exactly what it is, but that's my stab at it!

Bunnies hop... there would be pairs of them, and a buttprint between the pairs.
We used to raise bunnies, and those are definitely not bunny tracks.

Chupacabra? or maybe it was some animal that was missin' a leg!


Rabbit?(Maybe it didn't stop betwwen hops to rest its butt? )




or maybe it was something carrying something... so its tracks were a bit 'off'?

Well, now that I think of it, if it's hind legs were really close together, it could be rabbit tracks.... So yeah, that would be the most ideal explanation, since they're an abundant type of animal there. I was thinking that those were single steps, but if they were actually close pairs, it would make a lot of sense, and would explain the long gap between them...
It's ok, I was wrong once in the third grade too...

I should have elaborated. It was either a walrus or alligator with a monkey on it's back. My bad.

Actually, the tracks from left to right have to be a mini-kangaroo... Notice the long tracks on either side of where the testicles drag in the snow?

Clearly those are train tracks. I'm guessing a Zephir.....

Seriously though, look like bunny tracks to me.

Jackalope, dealt with them in NAM, tricky S.O.B.s, takes a mortar round directly to the left antler to put one down.

You and your family are very luck to be alive.

I am sure glad I don't drink anything while coming across your posts.

The first picture, the tracks to the right which seem to be very smooth and swaying are female rabbit.

A Cotton Tail Rabbit. Have lots of them where I live. The only other rabbit in my area is the Jack Rabbit and it would have jumped longer strides.
