So which animals? South Africa.

[Laughoutlouder]

more than one

pretty sure JD knows this one!

difficult one

was maybe my favourite

 

[Laughoutlouder]

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.

Monitor? Difficult without a sense of scale. Looks mammalian though.

piccy #2 looks like an off road vehicle of some kind !!

 

[Laughoutlouder]

Yep it is and sorry sometimes I do forget.

water monitor

 

[JonathanD]

Beautiful. Had my butt kicked many times chasing those fellas. Especially the Nile monitor.

 

[Laughoutlouder]

I would imagine they can move alright and are massively strong! You have some interesting times eh!

Here is one thats a little easier

Apple leaf tree?

 

[Laughoutlouder]

Could be. if i were to guess it would be a Transvaal Beech.

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"?
