I learned how to track lions and bear this weekend.

Here's a news article about it.

We hiked 9 transects in the mountains that are part of Ft. Huachuca. I only saw one set of lion tracks, but the total count was 10 sets. My group didn't find bear tracks either, but we saw trees that had bear scratch marks, and found some hair.

I also learned how to identify signs of coatimundi. They sweep the ground with their noses, leaving marks that look like smileys.

It was very cool and I learned a lot.
