Animal track

This image is of a Gray Squirrel track, I saw this white cross country skiing in Stone Valley. I like this image because since enrolling at st. Lawrence I have become fond of the Gray Squirrel since there are so many living on campus. This squirrel can be identified as the Eastern Gray Squirrel because of the region that it is in. It can be described as a scatter-hoarder as it hoards food in many different caches for later recovery. It is believed that these squirrels make up 1,000 caches each season but are able to remember all of the locations due to their accurate spatial memory.
