Track Compressions
|
|
|
| When any animal treads upon the
ground, the underlying material, whether it be soil or debris, is compressed
in a way that reveals the characteristics of the animal's foot. This
"compression shape" also provides clues on how fast the animal is moving as
well as many other aspects of its behavior while it was making the track.
Tom Brown Jr has taken this area of tracking knowledge and expanded into
what he refers to as "pressure releases". He claims that there are over 4000
aspects of the anima's condition and behavior that can be seen in these
pressure releases. |
