Wildlife track I found while hiking

I found these tracks while hiking in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. I'm just wondering what animal it could be? BTW, I'm wearing size 9 1/2 hiking boots so you can kind of compare the size of the footprint.

That is a cat track, probably a bobcat. The tell-tale sign is the lack of toe nails at the end of the toes.

looks like one paw had 4 digits and the other 5.

Bobcat tracks, remember that the tracks appear larger in the snow as well.

It looks like that because the rear paw is stepping on the front paw's track.
