8's not a domesticated dog or a coyote. They can't retract their claws. I vote fox.

5: Goat toes are pointy. Baby moose? I'll guess sheep.

The birdies are tougher without scale.

6: turkey

2: pheasant

Others as reported

 

# 2 look like ruffed growse tracks and that blunt ungulate looks like a moo cow or cape buffalo. they could a closeup of caribou as well. Very blunt and same size front to back, pretty much.
: Moose are much sharper than those.

 

[Stumpkiller]

Yeah, I'd go with grouse for #2

What's an elk track look like? #5 could be Alaskan caribou, if it were Canadian the cent wouldn't have Lincoln's portrait. :winking:

Sure, but how much air pressure is in it? :haha: (the tire, not the moose!)

Here we go...

1. muskrat
2. squirrel
3. leatherback sea turtle
4. schwinn bike and snowshoe hare

 

[Stumpkiller]

Not bad.
1. Field mouse
2. Red Squirrel
3. Cruziana (the fossilized trail of a Trilobite). This is 305 million year old sandstone. I've always been fasinated by trilobites.

4. Proof of the elusive "Snow Snake" (a hoax photo).

They look somewhat close, trilobite & turtle tracks...

 

I don't believe I've seen that blunt a track from an elk before. Maybe I should hunt mature beasts - HA!

I don't believe I've seen that blunt a track from an elk before.

The rounded track you spoke of was in deep mud, I guess thats why it looked that way...

Here are some Wapiti tracks...
Ha, they almost look like elk tracks...
