Tracking Game

Different creatures have different footprints (tracks), similar to how our fingerprints are unique. Monitoring animal tracks can be useful for understanding the types of animals that visit a location such as a nearby greenspace. Not only are their tracks different, their poo is also different, and that is because they often eat different foods and have different types of digestive systems (ways to process food into energy).

Get to know some native and introduced creatures through their identifying features, food sources, poo and tracks in our tracking game.
