The below picture, taken by Woodlore office member Steve on a trip to East Africa earlier this year, shows an animal print found in the dirt. The first person to find and correctly identify it wins, as always, a £10.00 Woodlore Voucher:

The animal print found in Eastern Africa, correctly identified as that of a hyena[/caption]
Due to the angle at which the photograph was taken, this wasn't the easiest print to identify. However, some of you got it right - it is in fact a hyena print; Steve and the group were even lucky enough to see one that day sprinting past them. Of all the comments, Zoe was the first to answer correctly, winning a £10.00 Woodlore Voucher.

If you'd like to brush up on your skills at tracking and identifying wildlife, we'd recommend taking a look at the Animal Tracks & Signs book or, even better, taking part in our Woodlore Tracking course.

Following on from the previous posting, a very generous offer by Ray !…I think the track was made by the front paw of a Leopard.
Thats a cheetah print

I think it’s the footprint of a Lion. Likely the East African or Massai Lion, found in east Africa,
from Ethiopia and Kenya to Tanzania and Mozambique. P. l. nubica.

I think it might be an African Leopard track
