bear tracks

Grizzly's trail marks

Bear tracks are the footprints left by a bear, showing the distinctive pattern of large paw pads and claw marks.

The term extends to any evidence of a bear's passage through an area.

Figuratively, bear tracks can mean obvious signs that someone has been somewhere: The empty beer cans were bear tracks leading right to the culprit.
