Caption

Weasels move mostly by bounding. As a result their tracks are almost always found in individual groups of all four feet. They usually land with their back feet in front, so the tracks that you will see in front are actually the back feet. Their groupings of tracks are usually between 50 to 130 cm apart because weasels are very good jumpers.
