Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   Quoting Richard McKibbin: most likely domestic dog - note the long curved claws often seen in domestic dog track - (only other contender here would be brown hyena but their claws are worn from traversing use and track does not quite look right. Location and what looks like older domestic dog tracks seem to confirm the ID).
