We know we've got coyote, we've saw one in the river bed and we've heard them at night. Neighbor killed a possum last February. Haven't seen any evidence of raccoons in the area, but I'm sure there are some. What kind of track/paw print is this? We found it by one of the fruit trees a day after watering. I've found evidence of something small trying to dig into the chicken run a few times, but the coop itself is very secure.

Help please!

I would guarantee that it isn't a domestic cat. That print has five toes, and non-mutated domestic cats have four toes, with the fifth being further up on the leg. Also, kitty prints are not that broad, they're more narrow.

Where do you live, and how big are these tracks? Either measure them or put something like a quarter down for size reference.

For now, I'm thinking perhaps a weasel? Fisher cat, maybe?
