Summer or winter, spring or autumn… Probably you have all seen them in the sand, soil or snow; animal footprints! But what can they tell us?
Have a look at the drawing below. Based on what you know about animals, footprints, food chains, competition and ecological relationships; what do you observe?
Can you suggest ‘a story’ behind these footprints? What happened here? How many animals were here? What were they doing? What kinds of animals were they? Were they all here at the same time?
