Animal Tracks

There are several different ways you can use when trying to identify animal species. There are two different ways of observing animals; these are directly and indirectly.

Direct observation of animals is a good way of identification, because you can study their behavior, appearance and record their location where you spotted them.

Indirect observation is done by finding and identifying the animal’s tracks such as bones, hair, fur, feathers, scales, scats (pooh) etc. It is always a good idea to make a sketch of the things students find.
