Common Track Features of Wolves, Dogs, Foxes...

I've made a departure from my usual text-dominant articles and ventured into a more photograph-journal format.
It was fun creating an article centred around photographs instead of text. Still, each photograph is accompanied by some descriptive text.
The focus of this photo-journal is common track features of the canidae family of mammals.
Canids are the dog-like mammals which include the wolf, coyote, fox, dingo and domestic dog.
All canids have certain common track features - by becoming familiar with these features - it's possible to significantly boost your recognition of canid tracks in the field and just as importantly - eliminate other tracks that are somewhat similar to canid tracks (such as the feline tracks of cats).
