Why would the link say "WolfTrack_HindFootSize" if it were a Couger track? By how the link is labeled, I would think that that picture is a hind foot track from a wolf. In fact I would put money on it. After all it is from the "washington wolf" page, in the "wolf photos" gallery....A big cat track can show claw mark if its a deep track. It can also show claw mark if in is at an incline. On flat level ground you shouldn't see any claw mark.
This is a cougar track in snow.

The photo itself says it is a wolf, not cougar.A big cat track can show claw mark if its a deep track. It can also show claw mark if in is at an incline. On flat level ground you shouldn't see any claw mark.

I know nothing about tracks, but generally speaking because of the sightings and wildlife in your area, I would believe it. We used to have a special breed of mountain dog in the hopes it would keep those human eating animals away from our house.The tracks where in very deep snow and on a hill... There have been "sightings" of the cougars up here. There are no wolves... the only stray dog that I have seen around here is a bassett hound lol. Im literally in the middle of nowhere.. smack dab in the middle of a 60 acres field surrounded by miles and miles of woods. The paw print was bigger than my hand... needless to say even if it is a dog im scared of it. There were small.. very small prints next to it... like as if it had a baby.... I didnt get pictures of those though. but they looked the same justa third of the size![]()
