The results of our Carnivore Tracking Challenge are in!
We asked for you to look for the most unusual sign, the clearest tracks, and the most unusual tracks of carnivores. You all did not disappoint!

Read on for tracks and sign left by owl, bobcat, and WOLVERINE!

The Winners
Carnivore Tracking Challenge

Category 1: The   Most unusual sign

The winner of this category is Kimber Nelson, one of the Tracking Leaders with Cascadia Wild. While the animal who left this particular sign does not belong to the order of Carnivora, a taxonomical family of mammalian carnivores, they do eat a carnivorous diet. You may be able to tell instantly who left this by showing you their telltale sign:

Owl pellets!
​Owls swallow their meals whole, and the pellet is a mass of all the indigestible contents of an owl's meal, such as fur and bones, that has been regurgitated from the gullet in a compressed ball. These particular pellets were left by a great horned owl. Great horned owls are excellent eaters and can eat a wide variety of rodents, birds, lizards, toads, and even rabbits - animals much larger than themselves!
What was so interesting about this sign was not the pellet itself but what was found in it... ​
