Wonderful pictures! I just spend some time earlier today climbing some of the dunes in Ludington State Park with my three sons. We came across some large paw prints by some pooled water that were not accompanied by human prints. These prints had claws! They also seemed to be following at some points footprints that appeared like hooves. We high tailed it out of there but not before I took a pic or two! Any idea what this clawed animal might be? Thanks!
Oh how I wish I could share the print pic! The print was about 3 inches so I’m sure I could rule out raccoon but fox or coyote is my guess! Thanks for the link! I will definitely check it out! Thank you!!! 😊Ann
I’m glad you found the link in the brief time it was up, I had some technical glitches and lost my reply to you. In any event, I’m glad you’re interested in solving the puzzle of animal tracks. It’s fun to know who else has been walking where we walk!
