Animal Tracks in Snow

Ben Wilder Nature, Seasons, Society January 2, 2013January 2, 2014 1 Minute

Below are a few animal tracks I came across north of Cincinnati, Ohio. With a good amount of snow, it was nice to be able to see these even hours after the animals passed through. There’s one set of tracks that I can’t identify. If you know what it is, feel free to respond below!

These woods contain quite a few different types of tracks.

Deer track. I believe he was moving right to left based on the snow to the left of the print being swished away slightly.

I suspect a squirrel or raccoon was scratching around for nuts or other food sources.

Not sure what this is. Possibly a raccoon?

rabbit tracks. the two hind legs (wide) and the front legs are the single spot on the left.

Id say either snowshoe hare tracks OR you dug sticks into the snow to laugh at how many people would try to guess 🙂

  I would never do such a prank-like thing! 😉 But seriously, I didn’t!

    Well…it definately gave ME a laugh to think you did… 🙂 Though there were other thoughts of how you might have “made” them yourself that were equally as funny

  You know what, Pam, I think you’re right! I can’t believe I didn’t even think of that!!
