Quiz #38 - Question Page 1
by Brian Booth |
|
| Here’s a tracking quiz that may be easy, or may be more difficult,
depending on where you live & what ecosystems you’re familiar with. It’s
also set up to provide additional clues if the quiz is too hard. (Although
it has some followup questions if you want to make it more challenging.) |

on a fairly large river, western Washington (Photos 38A-B) |

Photo 38B (I had to stand in
the icy water to take Photo 38B – man, that was cold!)
Time of year: May. |

Photo 38C Photo 38C shows an
animal trail coming out of the water. |

Photo 38D Photo 38D is a
stitched photo, zoomed in to show more detail. The tracks are not
very clear, and differ quite a bit from one print to another. The
stride is very difficult to characterize, but is about 8 inches. The
trail width was about 6 to 8 inches. |

Photo 38E Photos 38E / 38F /
38G are zoomed in to show tracks. The tracks are so unclear that
it’s difficult to give measurements on the footprints – use the
ruler as a scale to judge for yourself.
Photo 38H shows where the tracks led to. |
