Just watched this and your MT Lion scat explaination. Wow.... lucky find. Thank you! I have been looking up Mt Lion attacks. Wondering how long before they are everywhere again. They kept telling people in CT that there were none there until one from the Dakotas was hit by a car.... They are very illusive, I can imagine them loving the area Summer Wells went missing from 110 Ben Hill Road Rogersville Hawkins Co TN.... Gone in an instant.. a animalistic scream ... two foot prints farther away from the house on neighbors property. It would make perfect sense.
@@beartracker777 Could you by chance look this up ? As they are tracking sightings of MT lion in TN the cats appear to be traveling North and East. While there is a lot of other clutter in the case I really feel this is a possibility. What are the chances you could either consult on the case or perhaps recommend someone closer ? I realize they seem to travel quite a bit and may have just been passing through... but they also could have established in the area. If they can find scat in the area could they tell by DNA if there are any human remains in it ? 7 Months later ? Sorry , my brain is stuck on recovery of this child... if it is possible in any way.
I'm so glad I found this video because I have been using the Google lens on all my pictures I've taken and I have been following a set of tracks that I know one of them is for sure a red fox but one day I seen a white or I don't know if they call it gray but it was all white with yellowish tinge and it's fur come out of the Bush and it let me eye to eye and of course I just put my camera away anyways it was I swear it was a fox the face on it look like a fox I do have a video of the red fox with the white tip on his tail so there is a fox close to my home but we also have coyotes and I'm still wondering if some of the tracks if it's Bobcat or a Canada Lynx or a timber wolf because I have tracks of more than just one animal going through and I go down these trails like almost every day of my life so it's pretty amazing I just started doing the animal track thing when I actually haven't taken pictures all along of tracks and just I miss never got into it so yeah thank you for this and I'm not subscribed to your Channel I have a wildlife nature Channel called backyard nature here on TH-cam I'll leave the link below of your interested but yes I just learned a few new things about animal tracks that was very useful thank you
The way I've always distinguished between the two is that you can draw an X through the dog track, but not the cat track because of the width of the pad.
@@craigstevens9351 Bobcat hind tracks are very canine-like. You could draw an X through the negative space in a hind track. Look for the other characteristics, like the teardrop-shaped toes and the larger size of the heel pad in relation to toe size.
You earned a new subscriber! I live on the nw border if New Mexico SW border of Colorado and there are mountain lions out here. They are extremely secretive. I appreciate this very much!
Absolutely wonderful video… Great explanation, very clear and helped me to identify I did actually run across a mountain lion track at the lake! Thank you
Very well explained. Thanks. The gait pattern also helps to differentiate between domestic dog tracks and, for instance, wolf tracks. As stated, domestic dogs tend to wander back and forth a lot checking out scents, so the pattern tends to be relatively busy and "sloppy", whereas wolf tracks tend to be very precise and linear, with the rear print often superimposed on the front print.
Excellent; I thought I was seeing mountain lion tracks yesterday. Thanks to this perfect explanation I now know I was correct-I did indeed see lion tracks.
Your vid is terrific. I live in the mountains in Canada and am constantly perplexed by different tracks I find (as you say, tracks of diff animals can often resemble each other). Your info is very specific, very helpful, very clear. Thanks.
I have been tracking coyotes in East L.A. where I live, and I think I could have found a bobcat track. That would be very rare in my area, is there a way I could ask you to look at an image and help me understand if I maybe made a rare find? Thanks so much, loved this whole vid.
Sure. Email a photo to me and I'll take a look. Or you can post it on my animal track ID group on Facebook. It's called Animals Don't Cover Their Tracks. email tracker777 at hotmail dot com.
Excellent video ,,Thank You..I have seen tracks that have been difficult to distinguish, due to wet mud or melting snow...sometimes have had the privilege of looking at paws of local dogs,(many large dogs around trail areas),but have yet to find a mountain lion that would allow me to do this....
From Santa Cruz Mtns., CA. Just saw a scat on our trail, just like your film, like nothing I’ve ever seen - so big we suspected cougar. Wonderful to have that so clearly and quickly confirmed by your excellent film. Also today someone else saw clearly a big cougar itself on our driveway - also very rare - I’ve never seen one in my many years here, tho I know they are here and can be close wo being seen. Thank you!
I have enjoyed your videos, Thank you. I noticed the ruler you have on this video, it is a bit busy for me. I was wondering if you know where to get one (durable plastic) which has two rulers, to get total dimensions of the tracks. Thanks for taking the time to video tape these and teach, it is powerful wisdom, I appreciate it.
I would look on Amazon for forensic rulers, also called "bureau scales." These are used for photographic crime scenes and have metric and inches on them.
That is either a baby mountain lion or a bobcat print. Bobcat prints are the size of a large dog's prints, for walking on snow. Bobcats got big feet, but adult mountain lion prints are twice their size
@@beartracker777 i just noticed her hand in the video. This print is only like 2 inches across, the size of a small dog. That is a tiny print. A large dog print or wolf print in comparison is 3 to 5 inches across. That print might as well be from a large housecat like a mainecoon. The footprint us set deep, so you would think it were from a heavier animal, but this is placed in wet, loosely consolidated sand. If you look carefully, you can even see inprints from raindrops.

If you look to the source it mentions Dr. James Huggins of Union University ... Was thinking of contacting him perhaps.
STOP TOUCHING THE EVIDENCE!!!!!!!! UGH!
That is the one thing that frustrates trackers the most.
so informative!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing! This was very informative and helpful!
Glad you liked it.
Osx mountain lion
nice
Thanks.
What a clear and nice explanation!
Thanks!
You can draw an X through the tracks of a dog between the toes without hitting the pad, not so with a cat.
That is correct.
@@beartracker777 True with wild dogs like coyotes, wolves, and foxes. Usually not true with domestic dogs.
@@greggaronson2169 more true on hind tracks than on front tracks
Southwest Missouri forest
1st i notice deer tracks, then black bears tracks following the deer. The a mountain lion shows up, following BOTH OF THEM!
Thanks for the info 👍
Now I am sure I saw momma and baby lion tracks less than a mile from my house today 😮 (rural area, high desert)
OH, wow. That's cool. Sightings are rare.
Super helpful. Thank you.
Glad you liked it.
Great information! This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
You're welcome.
Found a real nice cougar print in a canyon here in western Arizona. It's in my rv park. Big print. 4x4 inches. Pretty cool.
Cool!
@@beartracker777 What's not so cool is it's in my RV park. 😬

Maybe an older video but still very helpful - thanks!
Thanks.

Yes, that is one way to do it for sure.
@@beartracker777 i could easily draw an X between the toes of that bobcat. yea it would be small but its something i could do without trying
@@craigstevens9351 Bobcat hind tracks are very canine-like. You could draw an X through the negative space in a hind track. Look for the other characteristics, like the teardrop-shaped toes and the larger size of the heel pad in relation to toe size.
Haha, I was wondering how in the heck she had both tracks side-by-side.
haha
Mountain lions in cities? Yes, in Colorado.
They're in our suburbs. On our decks, next to our decks, waiting for our pets and deer.
Yes, Colorado has had lots of issues with this.
@@beartracker777 yes we do!

I seen cat tracks yesterday you can just barly see the claw marks in the snow
They have very sharp claws.

@@beartracker777 Me too

Thanks!
Excellent presentation. Thank you very much for posting. Lots of helpful information about both types of tracks.
Glad you liked it.
Excellent! Thank you.
My friend Rob says Kim is amazing, I can see why!
Thanks.
Yea I've Seen those Numbers out in the Woods....Now I know their Coyotes
Cool.
Thank you, this video ended a large debate on a tract of a 'dog' I found, very conclusive, good teaching
Thank you.
Good i dont want c any mountain lions in my state of pa
I am told some dogs (ie. some, not all Pit Bulls) have shorter claws that do not show in a mud track.
True. Some dogs don't show claws. It's mostly due to substrate and the way the animal was moving.
can i send you a track to identify?
Yes, you can. tracker777@hotmail.com

@@beartracker777 can I also send you some?

I have video and photo of tracks on my beach that I’d like to have identified. If it’s a cat it’s a Very big deal because I live in Northern Ireland.

Not always. Females and juvenile males have much smaller feet than adult males do. This print is from a 70 pound female.

@@scotticus80 There is a ruler in the video for size.
@@beartracker777 what breed of dog made that track?
@@Tarpit_ Not sure what dog breed it was. It is from a track cast I have. Large breed though.
