Question: How many new animal tracks have you found in your time being a scientist?

This is a tricky question – are you asking about tracks of new animals, or new tracks of animals? I have not found any new species based on their tracks; but I have found plenty of new tracks belonging to already discovered species. After all, every time an animal steps on sand or mud, it leaves a track. My favourite ones are hedgehog tracks – they look like perfect little hands!
