The first toe next to it sits further back than all other toes. The signature three-lobe rear pad looks like an M, while the canine has a smaller triangular shaped rear pad that only shows two lobes (the third is up higher. The lead toe (2nd toe) sits further out than the other toes. You can differentiate from the left and right track by the lead toe. They show four toes, normally without claws. Kyle Burgess was in the midst of a 2-mile run on the Slate. Mountain lion tracks are roundish with diameters ranging from 2.75 to 3.75 inches. Cougars may also direct register (where hind feet step inside of where the front feet had landed), when moving through deeper snow. One Utah man carefully eluded a mountain lion on a hiking trail and caught the harrowing encounter on film, as seen in a now-viral video. Signs of mountain lion presence include large tracks (3-5 inches wide) without claw marks large segmented, cylindrical droppings food caches where a kill. Step lengths in this gait vary from 15 to 30 inches. The photo below shows this gait, where the hind foot lands ahead of where the front foot had landed. It is a common question that is asked of trackers. Gaits: Mountain lions frequently use an overstep walk as their primary gait. The tracks of these two species are frequently confused with each other.
Front tracks are generally larger, wider, and more asymmetrical than hind tracks. Mountain lion tracks have a large, m-shaped (or trapezoid-shaped) palm pad, which has two lobes towards the front of the pad and three lobes towards the back of the pad. Tracks: Mountain lion footprints are generally round with a diameter from 2.75 to 3.75 inches. Their tracks are asymmetrical with a leading toe, which allows left and right tracks to be differentiated (in the photo to the right, the lead toe indicates a right footprint). They show four toes, normally without claws. Mountain lion tracks have a large, m-shaped (or trapezoid-shaped) palm pad, which has two lobes towards the front of the pad and three lobes towards the back of the pad. Tracks: Mountain lion footprints are generally round with a diameter from 2.75 to 3.75 inches.
