Can anyone identify these animal tracks?

[alarmguy]

Just curious, wife and I walking around an area of our community near the tree line that they are clearing and ran across these tracks.
I dont think these are big dog tracks? They certainly are not deer, someone in here I know will know for sure!
To me the first photo shows what seems to be claws. To large for raccoon? Ok, I will spill the beans, I am curious if they are bear tracks. But if so, then not a large bear?
They are from the same animal but the photo angles make some look smaller.
Family member in another state thinks maybe a very large raccoon.

looks like a big dog that needs a nail clipping.

Coyote, though may be a little big for one.

Looks like a dog to me.

Jackalope.

Dog or coyote, if the tracks are a single line, with the rear paws in the front tracks, usually its a coyote or wolf or fox. If the rear tracks don't quite line up then, its a domestic dog.
Even large black bears leave very shallow tracks IME.

Dog. Coyotes are more narrow.

I’m going to say it’s a Fox.

If I am back there again I take another look as far as the pays and front tracks. I guess nothing to exotic though. It was just the size and depth that may not be apparent in the photo where I thought too large for a dog but ... we also have A LOT of Foxes here and I suspect with that Coyotes and Wolves.
Thanks for the description.

Domesticated dog that spends most of its time on carpet. The nails are way longer than would ever be if this were a wild animal.

Chupacabra

Snake. They can be tricky sometimes.

 

[Escape08]

Most likely a coyote

Dog, too big for a Coyote IMO.

Just my $0.02

 

[thastinger]

Most likely a coyote

That would be a record sized one

If you see a racoon that size you better run

Chupacabra?

 

[thastinger]

Chupacabra?

Yeah, Bigfoot often walks them on leash in the evenings.

Looks like dog tracks to me.

This is a very helpful book that contains lots of pictures and sketches of dozens of animal tracks and scat. Researched and written by my sister-in-law and my nephew.
