Another animal track ID competition

As with our last competition, the picture below shows an animal track which was photographed by Woodlore office member Steve, on a trip to East Africa. As always, the first person to correctly identify it wins a £10.00 Woodlore Voucher - good luck! [caption id="attachment_761" align="aligncenter" width="450"]Animal print The animal print found in East Africa, correctly identified as that of a baboon[/caption] It seems like this print threw a lot of you, and some of us as well! However, it was correctly identified by Jamie as the print of a baboon - well done Jamie. If you'd like to brush up on your skills at tracking and identifying wildlife, we recommend taking part in the Woodlore Tracking course, or, alternatively, taking a look at the Animal Tracks & Signs book.

Hi woodlore team,
the track looks very crisp in the shingle, so it seems like a heavy animal, indeed that of a big cat. I believe this track to be the rear paw af an african lion.
Many thanks, lewis.

I will guess Cheetah. We don’t have many African cats in PEI.
