| | | MYSTERY FOOTPRINTS anyone ID?
Hello
These were in the snow in my garden this morning. They were about 3 inches wide and the claws look huge. There are no dogs around here so not sure what on earth it could be?
Many thanks Lisa  |

Badger looks the most likely, however it becomes hard to tell as the snow melts and distorts the shape of the print. |
