Re: Big Cats in Bowen ?
The prints left seem to have some aspects of dog prints but many more of cat prints.
I am not an expert and can only comment from what I have researched - that is I have no practical experience.
Dogs always show claw marks and the two front toes are always aligned. Dogs also generally have a raised 'X" in the middle of the print.
The photo shows an alignment of toes which is similar to the left front paw of a cat. However, claw marks show which they shouldn't and also the print seems to suggest that the pad of the foot has two lobes, whereas cats have three. I cannot see a clear cut answer to support either dog or cat.
A.T.C.
