Bobcat and Coyote: Tracking in the Snow

Winter Skills include Tracking, Tree Identification, and Story Telling. Bobcat and Coyote have much to teach about awareness, efficiency, and survival. We read their tracks to learn their strategies and personalities in this harshest of seasons. www.primitivesk...

Rabbits/hares do not "gallop". A gallop is a 4 beat movement where as a rabbit hop is 3: front, front, hinds simultaneously.

I like your interpretation based on the timing of footfalls rather than the mechanics of a body scissor, placing front feet behind rear feet, indicating a speed variation in most species aside from lagomorphs. I’m going to have to cipher what the difference is with regard to changing and maintaining speed variations, in my approach to tracking track clusters, and their distance between each other in a gallop pattern was a universal measurement, regardless of species as long as they maintained that gallop pattern what you’re saying is taking to en the timing of impact of both feet side by side indicates different information than gallop patterns in general? If so, what information would that impart aside from the timing of footfalls both left and right? with much respect, Mike.

Great to hear the comments on the animals' behavior in relation to the track. Is that a bobcat print on the turtle's back in your logo? Looks to have the same asymmetrical properties as the one you're describing in the video.

Those hare do have massive tracks, much bigger than here.

Thanks for sharing. Been waiting on a new vid forever it seems like! Happy New Year.

Great video

[@steveg3784]

would those bobcat tracks be a sign of stalking?
