To explore wildlife and the traces they leave behind, my friends and I took a trek down to the sea caves, where we came across a plethora of animal tracks, evidence of wildlife, and interactions between humans and nature. Our friend Wally drove me and my pals down to the waterfront, at which point we walked down to the sea caves, looking curiously around for animal tracks, at which point, we found a fair few.
Most of what we discovered were gray squirrel tracks, which makes sense given the environment we were situated in, as there were plentiful trees and a great deal of spots where squirrels might find salvation from the population of humans around.
In order to decern what tracks I was seeing, I took a look at my tracking book and measured the stride of the prints I saw. I was a bit confused as to if what I was seeing was a snowshoe hare or a gray squirrel, but afer reviewing for a little, I realized that gray squirrels are bounders and snow shoe hares are gallopers.
