WTH are these tracks ?

[BigPoppa]

I have a string of tracks in the snow in the yard this morning. They are individual tracks, tear drop shaped. Each one goes all the way to the ground (snow is about 3" here). They are not in pairs or quads. It looks like somebody on a pogo stick went through the yard.

What critter or beast made these tracks ?

I've seen squirrels leave tracks like that in our snow as they haul ass, bounding across the yard.

I'm goin with Sasquatch baby

But prob a squirrel, when they move they pounce where their front and back feet land in the same spot

The only logical explanation is a squirrel on a pogo stick. Duh!

What size are they, and how far apart are they?

I've seen one of our dogs leave similar tracks, as she trots around the yard, but they're a inch and a half or so wide and 18 inches apart.

One foot lands where the other just left, right under the center of her body. Looks weird, and not the same pattern as when she walks or runs.

So those could be from a dog, fox, etc., depending on their size and distance from each other, I guess...

Partially melted squirrel tracks is my best guess.

I wouldn't think a squirrel would melt in this weather....

Don't be silly...

Like this, but more nuts.

Well since we now have a "tracks" thread, lol, I found the below tracks on top of a wall at my work. They have probably been there a while, and I was thinking they may be from a raccoon, but I'm not sure. Also, I work in MetroCenter, so I thought this was odd, lol. Anyone confirm they are raccoon?

Here's a helpful link I found for identifying tracks

I went to drag a pallet outside behind the warehouse today. There is a bunch of wet snow there. There were tracks that looked exactly like the ones in your picture. We have a bunch of feral cats around and I am pretty sure those are cat prints.

[jughead]

not a tracker but over the years all the cat tracks i have confirmed were in a very straight line like those in the pics. have to go with cat.

[Murgatroy]

Cat was my first thought as well.

I didn't realize the chupacabra was this far north.

Your all wrong, jeez.... isn't it obvious.......thats a Chupacabrah AND a Moth Man Kid On pogo sticks, leapfrogging one another cause they prob just jacked the Leprechauns place and got his gold and some of his hats.....thats my deduction.
