Match the tracks - Catherine - 01-27-2020 Animal tracks in the snow can be hard to identify. I found a list of 7 pictures. Take a look and see how many you can get right. https://www.orangeville.com/community-story/9820131-match-the-tracks-can-you-id-which-animals-are-leaving-snow-tracks-in-orangeville-caledon-/ How did I do? I recognized the squirrel. Even the experts didn't get number 7. They are right, without size and context it is hard to be sure. RE: Match the tracks - Tobi - 01-28-2020 I only got 2. The one I thought was "bird" turned out to be Turkey! I have never seen cottontail rabbit tracks, or Turkey tracks, or Coyote....but I was right with Coyote! The last one, I thought "bear"....but it turns out must be wrong. If those were bear tracks, people would have known. Abominable Snowman? RE: Match the tracks - Catherine - 01-28-2020 I should have known the cotton tail rabbit tracks. After all the pictures are from Ontario and I have seen the tracks many times. I thought they were deer. I have seen deer tracks many times. I must be really out of practice. I would never have guessed porcupine. I have never seen their tracks in winter. That unknown one is tough. Bears hibernate in the winter so you don't see their tracks in the snow. It could be a person with high boots on and a long stride. Why didn't I think of coyote. It wasn't so easy was it? RE: Match the tracks - Catherine - 02-07-2020 I think I saw porcupine tracks this morning. They were strange enough to be porcupine tracks. |
