What you have there are deer tracks where the deers hindfoot steps into the snow behind the front, The front then drags leaving the "clawlike" impression which are nothing more than the front hooves sliding out of the track. A little more snow on top obliterated any signs inside of track of where the deer made contact with the ground leaving the oversize tracks in the picture.
If it were an actual bipedal creature it would have to have been hopping to have left paired tracks such as those but it is a perfect match for a walking pattern in a deer.
There you go.

edit on 15-1-2012 by Asktheanimals because: (no reason given)

no I disagree with that. footprint is too long, deer 'toes' are symmetrical and they have distinctive split (even)
toes and a solid pad behind. even if they overstepped and dragged their feet it just doesn't match.

Of course your right: it's an upright reptilian hopping in the snow.

I've spent many years as a student of tracking and seen similar prints in the snow before.
Some people have strange hobbies.

isnt this a known hoax?

on topic, i love all the freaky animal urban legends. the way i see it is that there is so much out there in the world that we dont know about who's to say that there isnt any 7-8 foot tall lizardmen, bigfoot, yeti and the rest out there? its not like they dont have enough room to live without being found

It's not a hoax, but it's not a picture of a real creature either. It's a carving or statue, I believe it's at the entrance of a cave, a tourist attraction if I remember correctly. I have no idea what the place is called or I'd find a link.

I was so focused on the 3 toed aspect I overlooked the obvious hopping factor.
Some tracker I would be.
and yes, that is a most unusual hobby.

Any respectable lizard man should have a tail, right?
No tail drag in the snow either.

Tracking might be a strange hobby today but not so long ago people depended on it to find game. Kalahari bushmen still rely on their tracking skills to survive.
For modern survivalist types it can be invaluable in knowing who has been around, when they were there and possibly learning what they were doing at the time not to mention how it can help in search and rescue operations.

New things are discovered every day. Not saying it exists, but to flat out take the "It cannot be, therefore it isnt" approach is ignorant in itself and its pretty much trolling.

Here is the image you were lookin for.
