codling99 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 to small for badger,and not deep enough in mud,must be something small and light,stoat,mink or weasel or stray ferret maybe. :unsure: or even an otter,as they only leave a print of 4 toes although they have five (googled) having searched again,90 percent chance of being a dog or cat if it has four toes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarms Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Im going with Mink. All badger prints I have seen are longer front to back and with longer claws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Looks like a blooming cat. Where were they taken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Looks like a blooming cat. Where were they taken? Not a cat, however you need to be more specific as to size of prints, length between and as Mr.M has said, where the prints were ie, estuary, river, wood........

Kenzie Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 otter maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 :unsure: and if it is a mussel shell then I would go for mink as the paw size seems right and there is no belly/tail drag marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulkyuk Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I would also say Otter or Mink ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk shooter Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'm pretty certain that in one of the pics it showed a slightly webbed print in which case my vote goes for Otter, but as others have said, without scale, loction details etc. difficult to tell. SS Edit: - Rule out cat, because cats retract claws when walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rabgoat Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 the location is along side a railway track,there is a small bog/marsh near by,sometimes with the odd duck about,iv'e never seen anything else about in the surrounding fields only fox,rabbit,squirrel.

Mungler Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 A little problem with Paint Shop, but a delicate presentation nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm with the otter idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk shooter Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 A little problem with Paint Shop, but a delicate presentation nonetheless. Hate to say it Mungler, but look at the prints at the top of the photo and you can clearly see that there are claw marks in the prints. I can see why you say cat by that print, but whats to say that a cat and A.N.Other mammel hasn't walked through the same point. One of those prints definitely looks a bit weblike and with claws.

tulkyuk Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Having studied it very carefully, i have come to the conclusion it is a crocodile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Still not a cat, there are claws showing and the track is too square, cats are more rounded. Mink are more splayed than the picture, so I`m leaning more toward otter even though there is no tail mark, it looks to be bounding, there again I`m no Daniel Boone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonp Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I was with the Otter vote until I searched google images for otter footprints : http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&am...sa=N&tab=wi There is a distinct difference between the otter ones in the above link and those in the posted picture. It looks like more weight is applied to the pads? (front bulbus part of the paw) in the otter prints than those in the posted picture, imho. images below in case they change on google images: Front Paw : Hind Paw : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
