Bobcat tracks are fairly distinctive. A typical bobcat track is about
1 3/4 inches long by 1 7/8 inches wide. The track is more rounded than
that of the coyote or dog and shows no claw marks. The ball pad of the
bobcat is distinct from that of the coyote in that the front border is
two-lobed. The principal difference between the front and hind tracks
is the somewhat smaller ball pad of the hind foot. Tracks tend to be slightly
longer than wide, though this is not always evident, as it depends on
the spread of the toes. (This information is from the University of New
Mexico)
