Hi everyone;
Just dropping in from another forum where one our members has photographed these tracks in the snow near his house. Any ideas?
[img]http:// link removed ad for dating agency.
Thanks!

Difficult to tell as the snow has melted and distorted the print
but it looks like a dog

well those at the bottom look like Human!
Size 9's, probably black lace-up boots.
Others?
Interesting that the human prints have compacted the snow, but whatever the others are have completly melted through it.
Is it a bit of a hoax?

looks like Rabbit / hare to me, the two small fore feet, then the two large rear landing in front of them. hard to tell much from that distance! |

| Because the boots acted as insulation and prevented the heat from the feet from warming up and melting the snow, I would guess.

One of the prints is a Labrador, about 2 stone in weight and around two foot high with black hair and a studded collar the other is a Roe deer stag, brown, with a bad limp and only one antler.
Yeah right

I'm confused Ladies, I don't see a dating agency, all I see is the image? There may well have been a dating agency banner at the top of the page, but it's not there now!
It changes every time you click on the link, you only go to the dating agency if you click on the advert. |

Thanks for the replies. The Rabbit suggestion looks promising! I was intending to reply, but there didn't seem any pointing generating noise on your forum responding to every post - I thought that a thank you after a few replies would do.
I'm sorry that you thought that the link was spam, it honestly was not. I did try to post the image inline but I assumed that inline posting was disabled as it only inserted the link.
Thanks again, but sorry that it generated ill feeling. |

Don't let it put you off in future. One point though to prevent this, you could always upload the image to our Forum Gallery. It's un-moderated, so you can link it immediately into a thread. |
