Okay all you trappers, I have a little quiz. There are tracks of at least 4 species here along a little frozen stream. I'm looking for definitive answers. I'll post the answers in the very near future. (Hint...its a bit of a trick question). Jack

I cannot see the picture well enough here to tell, not that I would know them all. The ones I do see well sure don't look like cougar tracks.

Excellent guesses. Kudos to each of you that responded.
A little more of the story, as I'm feeling that the photo is a bit unfair. I am trying to digitize about a million old 2x2 transparencies (slides), and ran across this photo that I took in the Russian Far East in 1994. I'll spill the beans on what the tracks actually are from tomorrow. I apologize for the trick question.

Okay, okay. Unwad all your panties. Put on your big-boy underoos. The early guesses were amazingly perceptive, then when the hemispheric clue was given, the guesses were all-the-more close. I'm not positive on the mouse. I assume that it is a Korean field mouse, Apodemus peninsulae, as that was the most common resident by far. Far Eastern leopard, AKA Amur leopard, Panthera pardus orientalis. Yellow-throated marten, Martes flavigula. Manchurian hare, Lepus mandshuricus. However, it just might have been Ivan Boesky with those rabbit slippers he likes to wear. Needless to say, a couple of pocket sets alongside the bank and a snare or two at a couple of the pinch-spots would have been fun. I was going to arrange with NAFA that the winner of this contest would receive all of the holdover fur that's still in storage in their dumpsters, but I suspected that nobody would win. We'll chock this one up to Russian collusion, huh? The cat tracks were left by this guy... That was some interesting trapping. Jack
