The second thing is that does not seem to me anyways to look like a lion track. I would say a big dog and depending on where you are located possibly a wolf.
I'm not saying your observation is wrong, and the above is based on my experience and my observation of your pictures.
itrap4u,,,,,,,, Since I have very little experience with Lion kill sites (I've found 2 old ones that were buried and had been worked over by other critters), I believe what you say about them. Plus it makes sence that a Cat being a Cat, that they would be pretty meticulous about things.
I do however see a few Lion tracks and ALOT of Wolf tracks each year and looking at the print on the right think that may well be a Cat track.
Here's a pretty good pic of a fresh Wolf track for comparison. They seem longer and narrower as well as the X and toe-nails that normally distinguish canine tracks.
Another thing that makes me doubt it was a Wolf is that the Wolves up here kill alot of Hounds each year protecting their territory, but I've yet to hear of them eating one. They normally kill it and thats it. I imagine the same goes for Coyotes.
It is kinda hard to tell about the tracks by just a photo so it could be large dogs like you suggested, since the poster said there were two perps.????????
I sure don't doubt your experience, nor am I looking for a fight. Just curious what yours and others opinions are.
Maybe some of the wildlife biologists on this site will chime in.
