A complete guide to how to interpret the signs that animals leave
behind.
Every animal leaves some kind of trace as it passes and the art of
tracking is very much like learning to read. If you learn to read the
signs left by footprints, leftover food, droppings and scrapes in the
earth you will soon be able to tell the story of an animal's life,
packed with fascinating details and hidden meanings
This new book shows readers how to find and interpret the evidence that
animals leave behind, from a footprint, a bent blade of grass, a soil
disturbance or a chewed nut or leaf. Combined with other signs, tracks
and trails they will soon be able to build a profile of a huge range of
creatures. Readers will not only learn the difference between a poo and
a pellet; but will be able to spot the differences between pellets
regurgitated by a variety of bird species.
Written by popular nature presenter, Nick Baker, and beautifully
designed and illustrated, the book is a brand new approach to the
curious science of nature tracking.
