So you found this "up north"?

You better run, it could be a polar bear.

That was my first thought, bear, but usually bears are HUGE, this might be a baby black bear or even grizzly, or as the poster above me said polar bear.
It could even be a Bobcat to a far extent, it only leaves 4 toe prints, it is not that big and it lives in mountaisn and up North.

Track Guide

Check that out, I know there's not every animal but it might still help. Oh, one question, how far apart were the tracks? It could help us identify it.

yeah How far apart were the tracks? Its not a bigfoot they would look more human like. I say that what you got there is a bear or a bobcat footprint. I live in Michigan and we get all sorts of things here. Luckily I live in the Lower penisula but if you go up north and deep into the UP you'll have a chance at seeing bear and bobcats

We have black bear around where I have my cabin and I see those tracks often. Looks small, so I'm assuming a cub.

In my opinion, it's a bears footprint. Lol if you live up north be careful it isn't a polar bear, I hear those things get angry if you invade their territory

Looks like the rear left print of a small bear. Check the scat and for other prints and you could tell for sure. A bear this size should have a a mother nearby.
