Animal Paw Prints With 4 Toes. The front paws, though do have a symmetrical pattern with 5 toes radiating out equally. By analyzing the size of the toe prints, the age of the animal can be determined.
Forefeet are broader and shorter in length than the hindfeet, meaning there are two distinctly different prints left by the one animal. On many mammals the front feet will be larger since they support more of the animal’s weight. See animal footprints stock video clips.
Canine family or cat family would not show 5 toes (they show 4).
Cats have retractile claws so leave no claw prints, but dogs and foxes do. Regarding this, what animal has 4 pads on their feet? A cat also walks in what’s called a “single register” — its hind legs exactly track its front legs, so that it appears to only be walking with two legs, rather than four. Cats have a small rear pad with two indentations at the back.
