If that's a raccoon, then he lost a digit on more than one paw somewhere...
I suspect the size difference is just due to the softness of the mud.
That's a fox, coyote, or small dog.

I stand corrected. I didn't notice the 4 toes. You are correct sir.
Could well be.
It can be hard to differentiate between red fox and coyote...especially from a picture.
Hard to tell how big those leaves are.
What we need in that pic, is a banana.
And this is a fine example of why the Laotoli footprints are bullshit. Not the missing link.
It’s a peckerwood.
First picture is a female domestic dog
Reason:
-slow trotting print set, size of leaves takes red fox out of picture plus slow trot you would have seen second set of prints in the picture, coyotes have a longer gait
-female because the horizontal spacing between the front foot and hind, and mature because the vertical spacing between front and hind feet.
-coyotes and red fox have longer prints with more vertical space between the pads
But that’s just a guess…could be a mountain lion
Second picture is an ostrich.
