Hi! This time I went to the Centennial Woods with Connor, my friend, and we both explored some new trails and more areas of the woods. We saw a few tracks, but unfortunately, the snow was melting and mostly icy, making it harder to find any tracks or scat because the entire area was a muddy mush… I want to attach my iNaturalist observations here, but I forgot to open the app before going to the woods, so I don’t have anything recorded:(
Below I’ll attach a picture of the track we saw with my hand to understand the size of it. It was a little hard to find these tracks because of the weather (melty and runny), but these two little feet belong to a possum. It wasn’t too hard to identify these tracks because Connor had his red book with a ruler and it looked like there was an alternating pattern. It is also a common habitat for possums at Centennial (or at least I’ve seen a few so far). Following the direction of the tracks I think the animal was just crossing the trail, moving from one bush to another.
