Spoor (animal)

Footprints of the extinct Thylacine.

Spoor is any sign of a creature or trace by which the progress of someone or something may be followed. Spoor includes track, trail and droppings. Spoor is useful for discovering or surveying what types of animals live in an area, or in animal tracking. Generally droppings can be referred to as scat or brown stink bricks. Certain scat are called different things like rabbit scat is normally called rabbit pellets. Spoor a long time ago was used to hunt. The hunters would stick their finger in the animal's scat and if it was cold it meant the animal was far and if it was warm it meant the animal was close.
