Took the fam to Mohican on Saturday for a picnic and hiking. Andrew, Natalie, Naomi, and I took a three-mile hike through the forest. Along the way, Andrew asked if I thought there might be pumas in these woods. (Pumas?!) I assured him that we wouldn't have to worry about pumas and he was cool with that until Naomi found this paw print in the mud...
We have no idea what animal this could be. The kids put their feet next to it to offer some size perspective. Too big to be a dog. Big claw marks, too. What do YOU think? Bear? In Ohio? Puma? :) Feel free to share your opinion.

My vote is... Wolf or Coyote.
Yep, I agree with Danny, most likely a coyote. Kinda creepy huh?
Nicholas says some sort of canine family, wolf or coyote.
According to this web site, my vote goes for coyote:

I have come across many things over the years that a coyote's favorite snack is the domestic feline. We had a coyote here a few years back wanting to snack on one of our 12 outdoor cats, but Roger is a good shot and the cats were saved. Good news, I know you are rejoicing! JAS
