Take a sneak peek at our ANIMAL DETECTIVES presentation!

Searching for…

Tracks Animal footprints

Scat Animal poop

Homes Burrows, caves, holes, nests and other places animals live

Animals leave clues all around us. On the ground, In the trees, Deep in the forests and In our backyards. To begin our search for animal clues, we must take a close look at their habitats.

As an Animal Detective you must be able to identify dog tracks and cat tracks. We

will study the shape of the tracks to determine if they belong to a canine or

feline.

Why is scat important?

• Animal identification

• Size

• Diet

• Health

• Near or far?

Animal scat can tell you a lot about the animals you encounter in the forest and everyday life.

Animals such as Insects,

Woodrats and Bats make their homes in caves.
