Took it near my house. Now, we don't have lynx in the lower mainland, but they ARE not far from here, so it could be one.

1. I would say no.
I'm no hunter, but those look canine to me.

I think they do have more wolves in Canada.

3. They look canine to me, too
No expert but cat tracks tend to be rounder and you can't see claw outlines like you can in that one.

12. Looks exactly like a Four-Toed Pygmy Sasquatch to me.
Very rare find. Consider yourself blessed.

13. That definitely looks more canine than feline.
I'm not a hunter, but I do know animals tracks pretty well for my wildlife watching hobby.
