No guesses :(.

4 and 5 are the same animal.

No 6: JonathanD would like that one.

I'll try get a better picture for 1 tomorrow.

So:

2 is baboon--a baboon track had me confused for ages. Looked strangely like a leopard when I missed the thumb print

3 is klipspringer---very tough and I never would have gotten it only for the guides (not fair calling them guides, they were doing research really)

4 and 5 are aardvark--great track too in number 5, I was very happy to see it!

6 was already correctly guessed

7--the tree one--thats the rear foot claw marks made by a leopard--scary! The wood over there is hard too.

1--im gonna have to find a better picture so I can be sure, big track is elephant with wither a leopard or hyhena passing later

Great pictures? Was the Kruger Park?

Just for the sake of discussion. I'm an absolute beginner in the tracking field and I'm starting to study this subject. I guessed the third was an antelope and was a small one, I excluded the presence of a big toe pad. What should be next point to say "Yes, it is a Klipspringer"?
