Track to puzzle over

[Stykbow]

Google says the saber toothed cats had fully retractable claws like modern cats. I’m no anthropologist so I don’t know if that’s correct or not. I saw on the news today that the drought in Texas has revealed some dino tracks that they didn’t know about. Pretty cool stuff.

The only critter that comes to mind is that ancient descendant of one of the above mentioned "chalupas".
I do know that this claw belongs to a velociraptor.

Some of the folks on this forum were around when this track was made. Maybe one of them knows what it is.

For comparison, here is the biggest wolf track I have found in interior alaska. This was an interesting track way. And this was close to town, not in the bush

Gunny5821,
I’ve come across a western Three Toed Wampus Cat, never a four toed one. This one appears to be a real head scratcher.

Daddy always said that a Wampus Cat was a large black cat with a red a**hole and bright yellow eyes, and it could scream like a woman being murdered. It could run just as fast on two legs as it could on four. As kids I've got a feeling we were told these stories to keep us from wandering about too far at night because it was said that some old guys were running a still at a creek about 1/2 mile from our farm.

You know the Latin plural is “Wampi”…

The Cherokee called it Ew’ah, the Spirit of Madness, then again, some tribes called Ew'ah the protector of the people and the land.

The wampus cat, My father and granfather used to talk to us a lot about them, thanks for the memories.

That's a picture showing the size of a Harpy's eagle claws/foot I believe.

That it is, bubba.50. I was told that when the photo was sent to me. Sometimes ya' just can't fool someone who is knowledgeable. Good catch!

I’m gonna go with the ancestor to the Mackenzie Valley wolf. Modern versions are 6-7 feet long. Wouldn’t be a stretch to envision 10’ or better.




* all in fun.
