What Left These Prints in the Snow?

What kind of an animal left these unlikely prints in the snow overnight Sunday? That’s what one Arlington homeowner is asking.

I found these in the driveway early [Monday] morning.  I’ve Googled animal prints and sent copies to friends, but no one has figured out the type of animal responsible.

One theory is that the prints belong to a hobbled bunny. Any other guesses?

    These are perfectly normal rabbit prints. I’m not sure where the confusion comes in.

    If there are piles of raisins then that’s a bunny.

    Really? Guess the House Rabbit Society Maryland/DC/Northern Virginia Chapter needs to step up its education efforts if people can’t identify rabbit tracks…

    National Wildlife Federation naturalist David Mizejewski passes along this image to back up that they’re usual rabbit tracks:
