Animal footprints in NZ

A project to collect photos of footprints of New Zealand animals, to help us all figure out how to identify them.

Footprints are a commonly used way of monitoring New Zealand mammals, using baited tracking tunnels with ink pads. Dale Williams and Craig Gillies of the Department of Conservation wrote a useful short guide to identifying tracking tunnel footprints.

You can add your photos of tracking tunnel footprints to this project, as well as any other animals prints, to get help with identifications and to amass a useful resource for others. פחות ↑
