Simoman 110 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Is the print on the right badger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Byron, a scaling object in the shot would've helped, mate. Also, were there other prints in the line? Animal wasn't lowered out of a helicopter to press that one pad. Pattern of tracks is diagnostic too. That said; Looks too compact and pointy for a badger. I'd go with probably Dog or fox. Only, there's something about that Very clearly pronounced 'Thumb' I just can't put my finger on right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest little_lloyd Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Otter How big are the prints? I found some big dog mink prints like that a while back now!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wood smoke 0 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I dont think it is a badger they have five toes. Iam with little loyd decent sized mink ? what about coypu are you in norfolk area ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Now he tells us the bugger was coming out of the bloody water?! Well, it's not a f*cking frog, mate. Looks wrong for a newt ..... Seriously though, Byron; That 'Thumb' Run Otter Track through Google and see if anything pops up. I mean, it clearly is otter then. I'm just curious about this half remembered 'Distinctive Thumb Print' I've picked up about somewhere. I seem to recall it was virtually diagnostic of something or other. But I know shit about otters. Except that I'd still have thought those toes too bunched for one ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IanB 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Possibly could be an otter track, not badger... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
