What are these tracks?

[USDA3]

How about a person riding a bike, tire track and pedal marks. The side marks actually look to be offset?

[Dave S]

I wouldn't rule that out either. The only problem is the frequency of the contact on the sides. Would have to be in first gear, peddling fast. But looking at the depth of the tracks, I'm not 100% sold on the fact that peddles would be touching in this shallow snow unless the person riding had a shoe size 44 EEEEEEEEEE.

A komodo dragon. It has a tail, mammal or dird. I have seen Pheasant tracks with a drag, but not a solid drag. Maybe a fisher or marten.

I know where this happened. No person would be walking there unless they wanted a cold bath - current and open water.

I'm still sticking to an otter. Sliding on his belly pushing himself with his hind feet. I've seen it.

I don't know what that would be, it's tough to tell with the picture. I'd don't think it's an otter unless there are tracks within a set of tracks, which is unlikely since they mirror each other pretty well. When I see an otter slide it's feet are tucked in, not out to the side. A porky will drag it's tail but it will be more side to side and the feet won't be that far apart.

Maybe it's a Hodag from over by Rhinelander, WI.

I totally agree not an otter (no foot prints/nails what so ever.Something mechanical>Just to perfectly spaced and weighted to be animal.At second glance the photo is so poor it could be anything.(Circus monkey on a high-tech unicycle?)c63

An owl trying to pick up a mink.

Sure does resemble an otter on it's belly doing the breast stroke ....but geesh, that pattern is unbroken and the feet should be further apart....something not quite right there!...oh well.....Back to the last extinct 52 pound snow centipede!(Jurassic era)....apparently there's still one roaming the snow covered regions of Minnesota

I think they've evolved into the more commonly known Snow Snake.
