In addition to the plant life I saw at Centennial today (check out my last post!) I also found a lot of evidence of wildlife and animals!
First, I saw damage to multiple tree trunks and bark. At first I suspected diseases or insect infestations, but these damages could also have been caused by mice or cottontail rabbits.
I also found multiple tracks in the snow. I saw many human and dog prints, which were easily identifiable.
I also found some tracks which were harder to identify. I used my mammal tracks and scat identification booklet to try to figure out which mammals were roaming Centennial.
I decided that the the tracks are those of cottontail rabbit.
