185. Indicator Species
• One present – good habitat
• All present – excellent habitat
• mole, Rabbits, Deer…
186. Types of Habitat
• Deep Forest
• Very poor habitat
• Little undergrowth and poor cover
• Vegetation not varied
• Raccoons, birds, rabbits
187. • Fields
• Very poor habitat
• Little to no cover except at side of fields
• Middle field is open
• territory for hawks and owls
188. Medium Scale Signs
• Rub – polished areas on the
landscape
• Unintentional – rubbing up
against an object that
protrudes onto the trail
• Intentional – specific area
where an animal is rubbing
itself
189. • Hair and Feathers – loss
• Present at rub or snag
• Loss during molting
• May indicate a kill site
194. Scat Analysis
• Scat – feces of animal
• Determine species by
• size, shape, and consistency
• Determine diet of species
• Animals leave scat in “safe” places,
often near lays
208. Aging Scat
• Chalky Scat – old, scat dries from the inside out, bacterial residue
forms
209. Hairy Scat – carnivore feeding on
a old carcass,
eating fur and skin last
210. Raptor Pellets
• Raptor (hawks eagles, and owls)
regurgitate pellets of hair, bone and
feathers – undigestible
211. Tracks
• Line of Travel heel to heel
• Length of Track
• Width
widest part of track
Stride
• heel of one foot to heel of the other
• Straddle
• distance between the right and left feet
217. • Deer, Canids and Felines
• Stalk (Slow Walk)
• Pace when bored, annoyed, aggravated
• Walk
Rarely hold a bound except in soft or rocky terrain - prefer to gallop;
on clear terrain hold a bound on for a few patterns before going into a
gallop - prefer to trot or lope - can go straight from a walk to a gallop
(e.g. if suddenly frightened)
221. • Mustilids (Weasel) except skunk and badger
• For a shear burst of speed will gallop - seen just before a kill
• Will diagonal walk when approaching hunting territory e.g. slowing
down to be more quiet
• Will stalk when hunting game
• Will pace when aggravated, bored or agitated, threatening, seen just
before going out on hunt
223. • Rabbits, Hares and Rodents except porcupine and ground hog
• Prefer to gallop but will bound in soft terrain i.e. snow, mud or rocky
terrain
• Will diagonal walk if it needs to cover a shorter distance than a hop
would cover, e.g. rabbit moves 2" over to feed
• Will stalk when moving away from danger
• Will pace when aggravated, threatening or bored
225. • Move the same side of the body at the same time
• Wide, rotund bodies
• Can go from stalk to
• gallop
• Badgers, Skunk, Porcupine, Raccoon, Opossum, and Bear
226. Aging Tracks
• 3 Factors the Degrade Tracks
• Weather and Weather Fluctuations
• Gravity
• Type of Substrate or Soil
227.
228. Black Bear Tracks
• Pacer
• Front 5 in. L X 5 in. W
• Hind 7 in L X 5 in. W

285. vulnerable species
• A vulnerable species is a species which has been categorized by the
International Union for Conservation of Nature as likely to
become endangered unless the circumstances that are threatening its
survival and reproduction improve
286. Near Threatened
• A near-threatened species is a species which has been categorized as
"Near Threatened" (NT) by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature as that may be considered threatened with extinction in
the near future, although it does not currently qualify for
the threatened status.
