Spotted near the river Avon in Salisbury, definitely not a bear despite what Google lens says. Badger maybe?

  2. I’d be tempted to say Badger, but there only seems to be four claw tracks instead of five.

    Fox possibly.

  3. id say some poor sod has had a nasty tumble and now on the way home to wash their hands

  4. Otter? There are definitely otters around Salisbury and they have quite sharp claws so could make sharp scratch marks.

  7. Maybe one of the local ‘Tracys’ looked down when she blinked.

  12. It might be a bear. My mate Sean says he saw a brown bear on the way back from the pub last night. It tried to nick his kebab apparently. Luckily he managed to get it in a headlock but then Sean is well hard, someone else might not be so lucky. Stay safe out there x

  13. I say its a “Linsy” after having a pine with Mike

  20. I’m pretty confident that that is a ManBearPig. Rife down south.

  22. Gruffalo. They wake from hibernation around now and venture out of the deep dark wood in search of food

  23. Remember the saying about bears.

    If it’s brown – kick it down. If it’s black – go on the attack. If it’s white – stealth shite.

  28. Looks like a velociraptor with turbo laser teeth that wants to teach your children the wrong version of the green cross code.

  32. Do you live near Dalston? Looks like it’s the Crack Fox.

  33. Could just be some kids who are have a bear-facts phase and know what their footprints should look like? My brother and I spent many a happy summer trying to make dinosaur tracks on footpaths in the lake district so people would think there were dinos in the bracken, just because we were very into dinosaurs and thought that would be cool.

  35. These tracks are side by side. Sand people always ride single file to hide their numbers

  36. Can never be 100% it’s not a brown bear. Did you find any sort of sandwich making items and empty jars of marmalade?

  37. A small child has fallen over and grabbed the dirt to try and get some purchase. An adult has picked them up (footprint and crushed grass at top of picture, to the right of upper hand mark/gouge)

  38. Two bears went missing in Wiltshire about 18 months ago. Is that near Salisbury?

  39. I’d say badger, and the smaller fifth claw, like a thumb, hasn’t registered on the left and only slightly on the right.

  40. Could it be beavers? They have long claws and I read there was a wild colony in Salisbury.
