Below I'm going to post a couple of pics. One for scale and the other to show what I'm talking about. Just for reference these pictures were taken on the southern shore of Lake Superior in Michigan. They are too big to be a house cat and I think way too small to be a cougar so I'm guessing a bobcat or lynx. However, what I don't understand is the drag mark between the paw prints.
Is it some kind of prey it has in it's mouth? These went on for some time until it appears that it tangled with a large coyote (just guessing by tracks). Both dog/coyote/wolf tracks and cat tracks seem to indicate some kind of scuffle but I'm only guessing. Maybe a coyote tried to steal it's catch? Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to take a video of those tracks.
What just occurred to me as another possibility is that maybe it's dragging an injured paw?
