A few days ago we had a decent 1 to 2 inch accumulation of snow. When we looked out early in the morning we saw a set of tracks in the snow on the sidewalk leading to our front door. Do you recognize what kind of animal made these tracks?
Bonus question: Which direction was the critter going? Towards the camera or away?
I dunno, a rabbit?

Away from the camera, that’s for sure. I wouldn’t have guessed the animal, though. I’m a city girl. 🙂

Good call on the direction of travel of the…bunny rabbit! Thanks for answering and the visit.

If that had been here in Scotland I would have said it was likely to be the print of a wild haggis…not sure if you have them where you stay though.

Have never heard of any haggis sightings in the lower 48, but maybe North of our border…. But our rabbits are similar in size to your Scotland haggis critters, I think. You have them in your yards?

Sadly we live in a modern housing estate and wildlife is not common. There is the odd wandering fox and there used to be rabbits in our back garden 20 years ago when we moved in -before the whole area became built over. As for our mythical haggis…well…that is for another day.

I admit I googled the haggis prior to 1st response and enjoyed seeing illustrations of the little critters.

Brilliant photo, no snow here in south England as yet but im enjoying the comments about haggis being a creature because i always thought haggis was sheep stomach stuffed with meat vegetables and barley lol good to eat but not a actual living animal lol

We live inner city(ish) along the river here in Calgary — there are lots and lots of rabbits – my dog loves to smell their tracks which are always visible in the snow. He barks bark at them when they hop across the lawn if he is watching through the window. We also have coyotes, moose and the occasional bear wandering into this end of the city. Our neighbours across the river have a bobcat family nesting in their yard!
Love the photo and the comments.

OK so it’s a rabbit, so say the comments, 🙂 … but to me it looked like someone had gone out there with the plug of an electrical cord and made little indents in the snow. 😀

A most interesting solution. Whoever did it was most clever to leave no footprints 👣 in the snow.
