Quiz #32 - Question
|
|
| |
| Here’s a quiz from one that may – or may not – be easy. My best
suggestion is to not think too hard – your first instinct will most likely
be the best. |

 |
Photo 32A Habitat: A river in
the Cascade Mountain range, western Washington, elevation 3,000 feet
(Photo 32A).
Time of year: March. |
|
 |
Photo 32B shows the trail of an
animal that has come out of the river, onto the snow on the sand
bar. |
|
 |
Photo 32C is zoomed in on the
trail. At this point, when the animal was climbing the snow bank,
its stride measured 9 inches, and its trail width measured 4¾
inches. |

Photo 32D Photos 32D / 32E
are zoomed in on the tracks. The tracks measured about 4 3/8 inches
long by 3 7/8 inches wide. |

 |
Photo 32F shows the trail on
top of the sand bar. |
|
 |
Photo 32G shows the stride at
this location. While the animal was going straight, the stride
measured 24 to 25 inches, and the trail width was 8 inches. Then the
animal turned right, and the tracks abruptly became less distinct
and then disappeared altogether. |

Questions:
- What animal made the tracks?
