Tracks in the Yard

I found these tracks win the yard yesterday.  I figure the one on bottom is a deer, but I don't know what the one on top is.  The deer must have walked around the entire yard last week on a day after it had been warm and the ground had gotten soft.  There is a place in the tracks where either the animal slipped or got startled and took off.  It's more of tear in the ground than a discrete track.
I showed the tracks to the kids, and they tracked the deer all over and into the neighbor's years where it must have stood and paced for a little bit.  We don't usually see deer in our yard unless it has been very cold and snow covered for a long time which would not describe this year.
