Found Footage: MyNature Animal Tracks
I live in a suburban area south of Denver, Colorado, but that doesn't mean that I don't see animal tracks regularly. Quite the contrary -- our area is occasionally visited by mountain lion and black bear, there are herds of elk and white-tailed deer that frequent the area, and it's not unusual to see red fox and coyote loping through the neighborhood. Hiking in the foothills near my home is a sure way to see a variety of animal tracks MyNature, Inc. recently released MyNature Animal Tracks [US$6.99, iTunes Link] to help nature lovers easily identify 43 different species of North American animals. The video above shows the depth of the application, which includes: A searchable database on track size and shape featuring 7 search categories. Clear track drawings showing both fore and hind prints. Images of each animal's common gait and other gait patterns they may use. Photos of an actual track of each animal in the wild. Range maps for each species Sound files of each animal's vocalizations. An image of what the animal looks like in it's natural environment. A ruler to measure and aid in track identification. MyNature journal, for recording personal notes Tips on finding tracks, plaster casting and much more. MyNature Animal Tracks looks like a useful and educational app for anyone who likes to spend time outdoors, and at a price less than the printed track guides that are sold at museums and nature centers.
