Tracks from a Harvest mouse under a bridge in San Diego. These are identified by their small size and by the low "thumb" on the hind feet (in the photo the two hind feet are above the fronts).

I was measuring the metatarsal pad width at just about 50 mm, possibly male? Last photo shows cougar, coyote, and bobcat tracks all in the same photo.

Beautiful tracks. Quiz: what foot?
