ID these prints - what’s lurking around in my enclosure

[Renee_H]

I came home to discover multiple prints in my enclosure. Definitely not any of my dogs. I have two small dogs and a Great Dane. Since the tort came home the Great Dane is now sharing our large fenced in front yard. We used to let Dane have the back yard and small dogs in the front. All it took was her lunging at the fence once for me to ban her from the backyard. So I’m positive it’s not from my dogs. What is it????

Maybe @Tom would know. I believe he has a lot of wild life around him and probably has work with some of them.

I’m hoping it’s just a cat. I’ll measure them tomorrow. It’s already dark outside. What’s weird about it is I couldn’t find a trail to follow it was one print here another over here and so on.

That makes the most sense since we do have random cats that come over our walls from time to time. We have also had our share of coyotes but I don’t think these quite look like the pictures I am seeing of coyote tracks.

Cameras are on my wish list.

They walk around in broad daylight where we live in the San Gabriel Valley, California.

And bears. Bears are a big problem here too. Well I don’t want to call them a problem. But we see them all the time. Not in my neighborhood but a few minutes drive north of my house. lol. The wild life here is very comfortable with people, their swimming pools and trash cans and some bears are known to let themselves into kitchen doors and go through ppls fridge and pantry.

And this is why we lock them up at night.
