A length of a more or less direct register walk. [...]

I was out tracking and came upon these coyote tracks.
The tracks were in this strange lope. It looked like the animal was kicking its rear feet out to the left side ( you can see the smaller hind tracks out to the left). I stood there for some time trying to figure it [...]
