wolf tracks

Predator trail signs

Wolf tracks are the paw prints left by wolves, showing four toes and claw marks in a roughly oval pattern.

Trackers distinguish them from dog tracks by their larger size, more aligned gait, and direct path through terrain.

Fresh wolf tracks in the snow suggested the pack had passed through overnight.
