Animal Tracks Guide
- Raccoon Tracks
Raccoon tracks have five toes with a larger set of back feet. Typically, the back feet are 3 1/8 inches long, while the front feet measure 2 1/4 inches. The back footprint is beside a front footprint because of the way it walks. - Bobcat Tracks
The bobcat, a familiar cat in wooded areas, can be distinguished by the absence of nail marks and a more rounded appearance. The back and front feet are about the same size, averaging a length of 1 3/4 inches and a width of 1 7/8 inches. - Deer Tracks
Deer tracks can be identified by their almond-shaped hooves. They have no toes or claws, just two pointed hooves. On wet ground, the hooves appear rounder and less pointy. - Coyote Tracks
Coyote tracks are easily identified by their resemblance to a large dog print and the imprints of the nails. Coyote tracks take on a more oval shape than a domestic dog, and are more compact. - Bear Track
The front track of a bear resembles a large human foot, with sharp nail imprints. They measure around 7 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide. The hind track resembles the front track, simply without the gap between the front and the heel. Bears also have five toes, just like a human.
