Who owns these footprints?
37 Answers
I was outside in the snow last night and my dog was very interested in these pawprints.
I was wondering if anyone could identify what might have left them.
They were approx 20 - 30 cms apart and interestingly loooked as if they were in a straight line instead of some being to the left and some to the right.which I would have expected to see from a 4 legged animal.

Think I'm gonna settle with a fox (though the prints I saw were straighter than this pic. The snow was approx 5 inches deep so that has made it harder to identify I suppose.
Thanks everyone.

It looks like the imprint made by a small mammal hopping along towards the camera. The two little humps on one end are made by its front legs when it jumps, the sloping trough at the other end by its body when it lands. There appears to be the thin groove made by a rat like tail also at the trough end , so I would guess a rat or large mouse, having no idea of the scale. next time lay a rule by the marks so as to give a scale.
