I got super excited when a fox bounded across the trail ahead of me at Kincaid. Initially simply because I really like foxes and then after a moment I was even more excited because I realized, "hey, I can finally figure out what fox prints look like!" Usually I say if it looks like dog prints but doesn't appear to be following a set of human prints it's a fox. When I got up to where the fox had crossed I saw the walking prints and the bounding prints.

My conclusion: if the tracks look like they belong to a small dog but don't appear to be following a set of human prints it's probably a fox. So much for gleaning wisdom.
