Footprint id please

[Ida]

Hello

Could anyone id these footprints for me please?

Both these prints were in the same patch of mud alongside a hedgerow on a farm in Kent - although I don't know if that means they were made by the same animal.

I was hoping they were badger prints. Or was I just following in the footsteps of a large dog?



I'm having trouble attaching both pics to this post for some reason - probably something I'm doing wrong, as the method seems to have changed since last time I did this, and it's confused me.

Worked it out now - so here's the other one!

Looks like a badger print to me.

Hi Ida,

I think your pic of the badger print should be put in the mammal id section, because it's such a good clear shot. I think you'd have to put it in the Gallery first, I don't really know how you do it to be honest, but someone will!

Sorry Ida,

I forgot there is a thread for animal tracks and signs, so I'd pop it in there Please ignore my post above

The bottom photo shows the right hind footprint of the badger as everone has said. However the footprint in the first picture is from a dog.

Thanks for the info and comments everyone - I knew there had to be a dog involved somewhere!
