Questions
About the track identifier
Why do tracks look different?
Soft mud, snow and speed all change a print. Several prints in a row give a better answer than one.
Do cats leave claw marks?
Usually not. Cats walk with their claws pulled in, while dogs, foxes and coyotes show claw marks.
What should I photograph?
A print next to a coin or ruler, plus the line of prints leading to and from it.
