Video Transcription

these are just some tracks that stood out to me for various reasons three quite interesting ones I hope you enjoy and learn something 3 tracking mysteries I will notify you to pause the video before I give each answer the first one is fairly common among the frozen streams of northern Wisconsin clear away the snow and so I heal patting back you can totally just feel it

[Music]

there's just Barris impressions in the snow you never even think this is under here pause if you don't want the answer yet explanation

wolves use these frozen waterways as tabs if they step in slushy ice their tracks can freeze and last for months similar but even more unusual [Music]

pause if you don't want the explanation yet explanation an unidentified animal perhaps a bobcat made ice impressions just like the wolves later the water rose submerging the frozen tracks that water frozen turn preserving the tracks under a layer of water than ice ok last mystery ok so yeah no overhead trees no tracks leading up to it and that tells us what it was pause if you don't want the explanation yet you never saw one of those before they just fly down there and I think sometimes it'll dive-bombing in the snow there's go to school and they're down in there and you sit there for the night and Y all take off in the morning Oh see this is that's open this snow drifted in there yeah so it was down here and then I believe it came up there and took off although we can't see the wind but it's known since then a little bit or at least blue in explanation the ruffed grouse dive-bombs into the snow to make a shelter the brown stuff was it's cat this last one isn't really a mystery so much as an example of how tracks can reveal the remarkable capabilities of animals and then you can see the next right up there I'll take a measurement this instantly he's not that animal this is one coming from the side going off that way so you guys from here Oh [Music]

[Music]

got a little bit of a curve there but 100% accurate but six yards five inches this was a white-tailed deer who jumped 5.6 meters eighteen point four feet in deep snow pretty nice air [Music]
