 | | Notice how the paw print compares in size to a typical set of keys | | |
 The typical panther track is the imprint of four unclawed toes around a 3-lobed heel pad. The front feet are slightly wider than the hind feet, and tracks of the male are larger than those of the female. Male tracks of the front feet are 5-6 cm wide and female tracks are 4-5 cm wide. Male kittens older than 6 months may have feet as large as and even larger than adult females. At a walk the hind feet are often placed in the tracks of the forefeet. At a run the hind feet may reach as far as 18 cm in front of the front feet and the claws of the hind feet may be extended to increase traction.
