Help me ID this track.

[Dr.Mall Ninja]

i was at a gunclub in Missouri and came across this track at a rifle range. I was thinking maybe one if you guys could ID this for me? It was about 4 and a half inches long.

big dog.

Unless someone's pet wolf escaped, I'm gonna say dog too. But a pretty big dog if the print is 4.5" long.

'Nother dog vote.

 

[Captcurt]

I'm with Wronghanded. Looks like a spotted Great Dane track or a rare Missouri wolf.

 

[Dr.Mall Ninja]

I guess it’s only a dog then lol. It was just a really weird place for a dog to be.

If I saw it around here, I'd figure it's my obese Labrador.

Gargantuan Chupacabra..., not to be confused with the Standard Chupacabra, which is very different, and scientists are still debating if the Gargantuan Chupacabra is actually a Chupacabra at all, or in reality should be classified as it's own, unique species, not related to the Standard Chupacabra, aka Chupacabra aka Lesser Chupacabara. Reports that the "Chupacabra" is actually some form of extraterrestrial, intelligent organism, somehow marooned on the Earth, or sojourning from the site of a landed spacecraft are completely fabricated.

Okay, let's have one less cup of coffee today.

Dogs are everywhere. Didn't the Soviets send a dog into space? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2367681.stm
And Amundsen had dogs take him to the South Pole. I had a dog once who could climb leaning trees.

Chupacabras!!

 

[Dibbs]

Why can't folks put a quarter, or a key, or something in the picture for a size
frame of reference?

Dog. Notice how the claws aren't retracted?

 

[buck460XVR]

Size is not always a determining factor in differentiating between a dog and a wild canine track. The photo is not clear enough and gives me not enough definition to tell. So to me, it would come down to if there were wolves in the area and how many. Then, like everyone else here, I could give a WAG.

It was in Missouri where dogs are common and wolves are extremely rare, so I guessed dog.

Looks like maybe a rusted steel 5.56 case in the photo for scale.

Could be a rare Norwegian Blue, pining for the fiords. Oh wait, that was a parrot.
