In this picture taken by Paul and Joy Foster near Green
River, Utah, we see a couple of interesting conundrums. First, in the lower
center of the picture we see a seven-toed footprint, or seven-fingered
handprint. Then we have the quadruped with its bizarre head; it either sports
three horns with two little ears behind them, or one horn with two huge, long
ears and two strange little things on the neck behind them.
The foot/hand/paw print, is an example of extreme polydactylism. The only real clue I
can see to its identity would be the length of the toes/fingers. If they are
short they should be toes, and if they are long they should be fingers. So, to
make it more difficult, of course they are in between. The image has the
overall shape of a hand with palm and fingers, but as I said if they are
fingers they are pretty short. They are a little long for toes and the shape is
really too wide for a footprint. As for the animal, what can I say? Are they claws - they are not curved as claws often are? I just
present this as one of the weird ones. What's your guess?
