Simoman 110 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I took this photo in the new year on a huge forestry plantation. The only water near by is a tiny brook, less than 10 inches deep and only 5 feet wide! The tracks had what appears to be a tail dragging through the snow. Could this be an otter? or does anybody else have any ideas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foxdropper 17,092 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 From what I can see mate ,they are fox prints.In snow or other soft material there would be a clear tail drag and not foot scuffing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pegandgun 51 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Its difficult to say from that pic but they could be otter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leveller Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 It would be good to see some better pics, Otters have five toes if that helps at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
