What the hell made this?
This one is doing my head in. Anyone care to offer another angle of thought?

Well you don't get much badger for 20p nowadays
It certainly looks mustilidae-ish but doesn't resemble either a stoat or weasel track but the fact that there are several prints in one may be disguising a simple rodent of some kind.

You're mean. The sharpaholic in me forced me to click this thread. Only to see a question that actually has some usefulness.
Maybe it's a badger cub. Like with spring and stuff.

Rodent is what I was thinking. I reckon it's an overlay but it's oh so neatly knitted together.

Haha! Top man! Just trying to enlighten the kit gorps to what the outdoors is really about.
When I was a nipper you could go out with a lass, get a badger and a ferret and still have change for a weasel on the way home out of 20p.
Where did the "Shiny Knives" title come from anyway?

A title like that is the only way to get people to click and take a look. It's like the catchwords folk use on eBay and YouTube. Incredibly, 'bushcraft' is all about commercialism and material things rather than the connection (and understanding) we should seek to repair with nature. I'm not even a hippy or a Wiccan and I know this.

Not sure I totally agree with that but its no big deal. Numbers of people clicking don't always equate to people who know the correct answer, and those people who put random keywords into Ebay irritate the crap out of me.
Anyway as there's no real story to where the tracks were found which might give a clue I'm throwing Mink into the mix.
Mind, I can't find my tracks and signs book so it could be a Long tailed, long nosed, spiny backed African water whippet as well.
In my experience the first and fifth toe on a stoat track point to 9oclock And 3 o'clock so I ruled it out also one to many toes for a weasel
Hehe! You have to remember that my tongue is firmly in cheek with most of my posts. I'm serious but not serious.

Agreed.
Maybe you subconsciously made this shape in the ground yourself?
