Habitat: A mountain range in southern Arizona, near the Mexican border (Photo 26A). (Hmm, looks very similar to the habitat of Quiz 23.)
The tracks were found in Oak/Sycamore forest high in the mountains, where it had recently snowed (Photo 26B). Time of Year: January.
As seen here in Photo 26C, there are some clean tracks in the shallow snow.
Photo 26D is zoomed in on the trail – the stride ranges from 8 to 12 inches, and the trail width ranges from 2½ to 3½ inches.
Photos 26E & 26F show a continuation of the trail down a boulder field, a tricky crossing that the animal negotiated without even breaking stride.
Photos 26G, 26H, and 26J are zoomed in on individual footprints. The prints are about 1½” wide by 1¾” long.
