Coyote tracks

Canis latrans

Description:

Tracks: Coyote tracks are oval-shaped and measure approximately 2.5 inches long by 2 inches wide. They register four toes with claws in both front and hind feet. Their tracks are relatively symmetrical, though they can show a slight lead toe/claw that allows left and right feet to be differentiated. Their foot pad is roughly triangular-shaped. The hind foot is slightly smaller than the front foot and registers a smaller foot pad.

Habitat:

Lake Lewisville vicinity.
