Lisa looks down at some tracks in the mud.

Richard: Probably the little black bear. The difference between black bear and grizzly bear tracks is, and well these are old so it’d be tough to tell anyways, but the black bear while it kind of looks like that

Two grizzly bear tracks in dry mud.  The toe tips are pointed.

Richard: Okay, so we have some deer tracks here. Little tiny ungulates. That’s a small deer and then this could be elk maybe but not very… Very old [tracks].
