yup, I was thinking something in the weasel family that gets into a killing groove
and doesnt stop to actually eat all of one before moving on to kill the rest.

If I remember correctly for some reason York university has photos of
quite a few animal paw prints. I'd suggest your neighbour ring her pond
in soft raked sand or soft mud and has a look for prints. I think a fox
would leave fairly big puncture wounds on the body.

To all who have sent messages, we thank you very much. This is however,
still a mystery and a has been a great stress on my neighbour. The
outcome is still unclear as of the different suggestions. So, if anyone
comes up with any further thoughts, please forward them onto this
thread.
Many thanks,
Gary.

==================
I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but we had so much trouble with
predators we finally bought a tough fine black bird netting and netted our
ponds.

Might help to forget the paw-print idea, and just tell the neighbor to
use some type of heavy screen to cover the pond until the "creator" gives up
and moves on.., or as a retired Special Forces MSG.., when not a very low
electrified dog fence.., to protect the Koi herd..(smile)..!! Better yet,
buy a good smart sheep dog..!!
