Looking at the coloration and the distinct markings... $1 bill no doubt.

Put another cat out there with a trail cam pointed at it:)
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Looks like a domestic dog track....with all the additional info ( no trauma) it is unlikely to have been a coyote (didn't eat it) or even a panther(Claws visible in print). That's my bet!!!!

Restudied the whole situation, and since you aren't from west Florida, not likely one of those cajun rougarous... since not from south Florida / absent the significant hispanic influence, probably not a chupacabra.

Since near Gainesville, I'm convinced I've finally nailed it. SWAMP APE. Got to be!

If you can catch it on film might look something like these two... pretty darn common down Gainesville way. Luckily, we're blessed to not be plagued with them up here in God's Country / Tallahassee. :thumbup: :beer:

At least the Gators don't have two dudes that purposely paint them selves in GLITTER for football games.

And I was trying to play relatively nice, as this showed up in the google results too and I opted to share the picture instead. ;-) :smt005

My best guess from the photos, Feline and probably Florida Panther. They notoriously hate lesser cats for some reason.
Took a couple of pictures of the prints/and or scratches that were left on the concrete slab:
