Cougars may also direct register (where hind feet step inside of where the front feet had landed), when moving through deeper snow. 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. A white hand of a Caucasian woman and a big beautiful African lion paw showing interaction.

Gaits: Mountain lions frequently use an overstep walk as their primary gait. Browse 2,641 professional lion paw stock photos available royalty-free. 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. 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. Can anyone confirm th ese as Lynx or Mountain Lion tracks? I've hiked, biked and skied this route hundreds of times.Tracks: Mountain lion footprints are generally round with a diameter from 2.75 to 3.75 inches. Find high-quality stock photos that you wont find. They were pretty much linear along a trail for a quarter mile or so and somewhat clear which makes me think Mountain Lion.

These tracks seem consistent with the Lynx description for straddle and image, except the meandering and feet dragging parts. Trails are mostly straight and direct, and may lead to trees, which lions climb. Toes and foot pads often register clearly in the snow (unlike lynx’s) and foot pads, which make up nearly 1/2 of the entire print, sometimes show lobes at front and rear of pads. Prints are as wide as or wider than long (greater than 3.3″). Pattern is usually alternating (See Track Patterns) sometimes hind feet do not register directly on top of front -foot prints. Lion tracks are very similar to those of lynx. Lynx trails tend to meander through the forest, unlike the straight line trails of coyotes and wolves.
For both cats, the foot pad makes up nearly 1/2 of the entire print, and claw marks are almost always absent. The track pattern and print size (greater than 3.5″ long and wide) are similar to those of mountain lion however, for lynx the straddle (measured between parallel lines along outside edges of two successive prints) is generally smaller (less than 9″), foot pads are usually obscured by dense hair, and tracks do not sink more than 8″ into snow. In deep snow the hind legs sink, making a “handle” on the print. Track Description: lynx usually walk in an alternating pattern (See Track Patterns), rarely dragging their feet or bodies. Ear tufts, long legs, and large feet are key to distinguishing lynx from bobcat. Ears have long black tufts of hair on their tips, and the lynx’s tail is short (4 to 5″) with a black tip. Color is mottled tawny, brown, black, and white. Description: a medium-sized cat (15 to 30 pounds), with long legs and large feet.
