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!

Animal print

The animal print found in East Africa, correctly identified as that of a baboon

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.

About

Woodlore, School of Wilderness Buchcraft was founded in 1983, by the British Bushcraft and survival expert Ray Mears. Woodlore began as a relatively unknown company, offering a small selection of courses on bushcraft techniques. With Ray's ambition and perserverance, Woodlore has since grown into a world-renowned and highly respected school, offering in-depth courses on a wide range of bushcraft and survival subjects. In addition to training, Woodlore now also provides some of the finest outdoors equipment from around the world, carefully selected on the basis of our extensive experience.

    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.

    Jamie McCarter says:

    I think the track is that of an (Olive) Anubis Baboon. And if not, definitely a primate.
