When you are adventuring in the forest, it is helpful to have some knowledge of the trails of wild animals, so you can know if they are wild animals and should be avoided or animals that could be your dinner.
• Bird of prey
The footprints of birds of
prey are usually easy to spot, with 3 claws, with a longer middle. In addition,
you can recognize the presence of this animal by looking for signs of droppings
in the form of pellets which are usually mixed with bones and hair, indicating
former prey.
• Cat Family
Traces of the cat family
generally show a form of printable pads, but the paws are not visible, because
bobcats do not remove their claws when walking on the ground. For tigers,
generally the front paw prints are larger than the hind paws. If the animal is
walking normally, there are two footprints that are close together, coming from
the front and back legs. For feces, you can identify them by their shape in the
form of granules shaped like teardrops that are strung together in three or two
series.
• Dog Family
This dog family includes
coyotes as well as wild wolves, which you should avoid. The footprints are
almost the same as the cat family, only in this dog family the paws are clearly
visible at the ends of the paw pads. The shape of the feces resembles a
watercolor tube, with a tapered tip.
• Deer Family
This one animal can be
your savior from hunger when food is running low. To identify the traces, pay
close attention to whether there are traces similar to two cloves of garlic
fused together or not. The shape of the deer's feet does resemble two white
bottom cloves that are put together, with both ends tapering. While the feces
are oval in shape, they are small like goat droppings, but the ends are
tapered, not rounded.
• Rabbit family
This animal can also be a
delicious and healthy alternative to eating, because rabbits are not fatty. The
meat is meat with a tough muscle structure. Rabbit footprints are a bit
difficult to see, you have to look for them carefully. The footprint is about
2-3 cm in size, with an elongated shape on both sides, then slightly at the top
there are two oval-shaped circles. The feces are in the form of small, round
pellets that are clustered together.
• Rodent family
These rodents are more
towards mice. The tracks are almost the same as rabbits, but smaller in size
and at the ends there are small fingers, as many as 3-4 pieces. The droppings
looked like the pointed ends of a pencil, clustered like rabbit droppings.
