Re: Dangerous Wildlife in Wyoming

Hard to figure the size, 53.
Well, my first thoughts are to figure out what animule we know it could be and figure out why one toe didn't leave a print.
I've been out west too long - can't recall if we even have sloths in this country. Seems like we do - can't recall if I've seen one or not.
Then, there's also the notion that it is a prehistoric print exposed by a glacier-melt ... don't remember too many glacier-fields near Sheridan ... but we have many strange animules from prehistoric Wyoming - like, for example, a duck-billed platypus found at 10,000 ft. near Kemmerer/Diamondville.
Off-hand, I'd say somebody somewhere picked up a hitchhiker or somebody else had a good time inventing a print in the mud.
You keep looking and I'll try and find a good recipe for Sloth-Stew. This might be a left-over from Ice Age 2!
