Rice is a crop that grows in water (Photo 48B), which requires careful contol of water levels and waterborne insects.

Time of year: July (the time of the second harvest and third planting of the year).

Photo 48C shows a muddy path around the side of one of the terraces.

There are tracks of multiple individual animals in the mud. Because there are multiple animals, it is hard to tell what the animals’ stride and trail width are.

Photos 48E & 48F are zoomed in on individual tracks. The tracks measured 2˝ inches long by 2 1/8 inch wide.
