Animal Tracks
By peace | July 5, 2007
Animal tracks are temporary records of the passage of land animals across impressionable surfaces, such as damp sand, mud or snow.
Raccoon Tracks
By examining tracks for the shape, size and number of toes, claws, nails, hooves or pads, it is often possible to identify the animal that made them. For example, the paw marks of mammals that walk on their toes, such as dogs and cats, can be differentiated by the shape and size of their pads.
Camel Tracks
As well as identifying an animal, tracks can often reveal an animal way of life. For instance, the tracks made by web-footed ducks show that they are swimming birds, whereas the open-toed tracks of crows show that they are perching birds. In addition, the depth and pattern of tracks reveal whether the animal was walking, running or hopping.
