We got lots of answers to our July quiz question. The following readers sent in correct answers:
Kaley Jordan
Susan Hubbard
Dennis Doran
The answer we were looking for was: feline tracks have a bifurcated interdigital lobe, which basically means that the heel pad of a cat's paw has a forward facing lobe that is split, double, or bifurcated ( doncha just love those big words?)
We didn’t require contestants to use the exact word, but accepted any answer that described the feline heel pad as having a divided front lobe. Of course there are many other ways to tell the difference between cat tracks and dog tracks. We decided on this method after checking several sources, including the book “Scat & Tracks” which has more drawings of tracks and poop than any other book I can think of.
Anyway the winner of the drawing for a $20 Woofers Gift Certificate is……………
Dennis Doran
Congratulations Dennis!
