Message definition (AY Honors/Animal Tracking - Advanced/Answer Key)

</noinclude>

;Scat: As discussed in the previous requirement, scat can tell many things about an animal.
;Fur, feathers, skin, and antlers: Animals sometimes leaves bits of themselves behind. Birds drop feathers when they molt, or when they are torn from them by a predator. Egg shells are kicked from nests. Animals catch their fur in trees and thorns. Snakes and other reptiles shed their skin, and deer and moose shed their antlers in the fall after the rut.
;Cuttings: Cuttings are things such as acorn shells which have been nibbled on. Deer and squirrel often leave them behind.
;Scratches or damage on trees: Bears, members of the cat family, and other predators will sharpen their claws on tree trunks. Sometimes they will do this to mark their territory. Beavers, natures engineers, extensively rearrange their surroundings to the benefit of other wildlife and sometimes frustration of humans.
;Scent Posts: Many animals mark their territory by urinating on trees or other prominent items. If you are walking through the woods and smell a strong musky odor, look around — you may find other sign.
;Carcasses: A half eaten carcass must have been eaten by ''something''! Large predators sometimes eat their meals infrequently, so when they bring down large prey, they will gorge themselves on it to the point where their stomachs will take no more. They will sometimes hide the rest, or rest nearby while they digest what they have eaten, and then come back for more. If you find a half-eaten carcass, be careful - it's owner may be near by and will ''not'' want you to disturb it.
