Tracks and Footprints?

Wild looking thing...I'm not sure on the claw marks, looks like four or five though...almost...like an hand. Need more informaiton on it, size of print, location, general animals in habitat area..I have several books on tracking an could probably look it up if it's not Jason made, after you answer the other questions. I'm not seening any "Pad" markings for it being an animal so far. You know what i'm talking about, ususally an pad...and then the toes or claws. Also I need stride markings of it walking...for clarification. 

I promise you all i haven't made it myself!   i just photographed it.  But Shirley, your right, the pad definition isn't very deep, so it would figure it hasn't put a lot of weight on the snow. It was 3/4 the size of my hand, and there was a lot of them, like a track of an animal! Wondering if it is the imprint of a bird wiggling about in the snow? but it was a definate line, so maybe not!!  I really wish i'd have taken more pics, but i felt sure someone would tell me what it was pretty quickly!

I better be careful in the woods tomorrow!!!
