Are these lion tracks?

Recommended Posts

I was walking near a wash near this past weekend and found these tracks. They were a little bigger than my fist. Was wondering if these were lion tracks?

They do look like lion tracks.....but sometimes in the mud things get very distorted. But no claw marks from a dog or coyote, very round paw shape (which I have seen dog tracks in mud do this), and what appears to be a double top lobe of the main pad on the rightside track, all point to lion.

looks to me to be more like a dog track the way the pads are pointed.

But I agree it is tough to tell in the mud

also hard to tell with just this one picture

Thanks to everyone who replied. I thought they were lion tracks. They were huge, but in the mud things can be harder to read.

It is hard to tell from your pic but here are some lion track pics to compare!
