Ignore the two prints to the right ... this was almost a single file track ?
Thx

If you google " rabbit tracks in snow" some pictures look quite similar.
I think the fore-feet will be about 6cm long for a hare and 4.5 for a rabbit. |

These tracks are far bigger than they look on the photo .... Whether the snow had melted to make them look bigger, I dont know ?
The distance between prints was also quite big ??
Maybe it was running at speed , but it was the size of the print that makes me think ... larger animal ?

Each print is actually a set of prints not one foot. The front two prints are its back legs the back print are its front legs. Its hard to gauge the size here so either a Rabbit or Hare. I tend to agree on hare though. |

Mike | This frequently happens in mud as well it is easy to get a false reading of the size of the print it can often be difficult to id deer by the size of their slots in snow or mud as they appear bigger than they actually are | | |
