As animals move through an area, they may leave footprints behind.  Each species leaves its own distinct set of prints behind and each of those prints can provide a wealth of information to a trained eye.  When wildlife walks through an area, they also leave signs of their presence behind.  This can include claw marks, scat, disturbed vegetation and more.  When we step back and look at the tracks as well as the sign, it can provide valuable insights into animal behavior in our ecosystem.
