Found in westchester County NY Bear or some kind of canine?

Hi everybody. I woke up this morning and stepped outside of our RV to find this track a few feet from the front door. We are located in South Central Arkansas in the country. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We would just like to know what is sneaking around our home.

Can you identify these tracks?

Near Lake Erie, in NY. These led to my barn (2ish inches). Any guesses?

We previously had signs of rats that got into my wife's vehicle. After a few weeks of trapping, I located the nest (which was empty) and removed it. I've had multiple traps out for about 2 weeks with no catches (even some unset traps where nothing was eaten), but I keep seeing these tracks in the snow.

#1 is under where my wife's car was last night (no signs of entry in the car itself)

#2 same location but more towards the front of the driveway (where my car was). Again no signs of entry into my car

#3 tracks go into the backyard which is raised about 6" from driveway level. The imprint on bottom right is from my compost bin (was empty, my wife left it there yesterday afternoon after she collected it from the curb)

#4 & #5 those have got to be tail marks right? This is underneath where the back of my wife's car was last night - we previously suspected they were climbing up the spare tire and somehow gaining access underneath the 3rd row seat, but I can't find the entry point. No new poop or food crumbs though.

Willing to entertain it could be something else, but I think they look rat-like but I only see the tail marks in that one spot. Is this because they're bounding in the snow?

What Tracks are These

Who scared who?

Ohio

Environment: City.  


Deleted my first post to use daytime photos. Last picture is regular looking deck with cat visitor tracks. Whatever happened here was LOUD and creepy sounding. Two barred owls live nearby.

A 12am ruckus - urban Ohio

South eastern Massachusetts this morning the X or H makes me think maybe wolf but they aren’t in this area. Too small for a coyote and they’re much larger than my golden retrievers paws so I’m stumped!

Extremely large dog?

Been finding these long trails in the snow near my pond. They appear to stop every once in a while to dig around in the grass. 
Seems to have a heavy tail. We have seen possums, skunks, raccoons, moles, and an occasional rat near the barn. I've been told we also have mink, voles, and even otters but I haven't seen them.

Who's dragging through the snow?

I’m in the northern Catskills in NY and we found these bear tracks by the house. Definitely have seen bears before but aren’t they supposed to be snoozing now? We haven’t had a day without snow in weeks

What tracks are these found in creek behind my house

Miniature dinosaur prints in my driveway this morning

Any guesses on these tracks? Answer is the third image

Saw this on my skitour and had to chuckle. SW Austria, at about 1400m elevation. Hand for scale, my middle finger is 10cm long to the knuckle. Any ideas on what critter made this, and what happened in that messy spot? No other tracks in the area before we arrived.

What caused this kerfuffle in the snow?

Pic 5 is prints leading onto the deck before it started hopping. Unfortunately it was snowing/blowing so no clear prints. Located in northwestern Ontario. Snow is roughly 18 inches deep.

What large critter hopped through the yard?

What leaves these sets of 3 prints (i think?)

What kind of paws are these?

Centre County PA, I cant figure it out my guess based on size would be black bear but the shape doesn’t quite match.

what could this be?! (east coast usa)

Noticed these last night so I know it's hard to tell from my picture, but I think these may be bear tracks? I live in MA and bears have been spotted in my area before. But im not understanding the walking pattern, and is there two of them? Is something hopping ? Maybe i can get a better picture during the day.

What walks with such gaps?

Stoat/weasel Vs rabbit? I was trying to figure out the outcome but it's not very clear 😅 Found in a forest in England

Found in North Idaho, Coeur d’Alene / Bitterroot Mountain area. About 3000’ elevation. On a forest service road. Heavily treed forested area. About 2-3” long. Seemed small to me, like a small animal? Any ideas? Also saw blood speckles nearby in the snow like maybe it caught something? Carnivore? Sorry I didn’t get photos of the blood, it freaked me out so I skied on by.

Tracks in North Idaho snow, thanks for the help!

Hi there! I looked outside my bedroom window tonight and found these, and have had trouble identifying them. For reference, I live in maine, and these are on the roof about 15 feet or so off the ground with no trees immediately nearby. Thank you in advance!

Are these tracks from the (known) neighborhood wild rabbit population? If so: what's causing the tail-like mark near the door?
