Thread: Animal footprint ID

Miniature horse, breaking in its new shoes.

OK, I'll get me coat.

I'm no tracker but my guess would be either rabbit of hare.

I know at least one of the erudite amongst the members on here will know at a glance what made them, what sex it is, where it was going and why, but just the animal ID would be good.

thanks, David L

G'day, where abouts does your sister live? And how big are the prints?
If you flip the image they look more like a hoofed animal, possibly goat?
Cheers

Prints are about 6 to 8cm long.

Sister is about 70km NW of Bendigo.

No way they're rabbit or hare.................. I'm the chair of a landcare rabbit action group.

Have looked at pig, goat and deer prints, which don't seem to match. Bovine? Escaped Alpaca, Llama? Dunno.

I'd guess pig or goat, but in sand like that very unclear. Definitely a hoofed animal.

John's right about the sand. They look a little like the tracks I see here from fallow deer, which are all over Victoria. But I ain't on sand.

It's Victoria. We have Bunyips. Oh, and drop bears, but they don't leave tracks.
