An interactive, regionally specific guide to recognizing what critters went before you—from North America’s most respected publisher of information
on outdoor recreation and the great outdoors

In Scats and Tracks of Alaska, including Yukon and British Columbia, we focus on the biogeographic region of Alaska and northwestern Canada, with details about the region’s most common or characteristic species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Each species is described with concisely worded yet detailed information, easily accessible by fast and easy navigation. Simple to use and intuitively designed, field-friendly and richly illustrated, this app is the key to starting off your outing on the right track!

Trying to tell the difference between moose tracks and those of caribou? Searching for river otters or mink? Or just need to find out what animal is nibbling the lettuces in your garden? FalconGuides’ Scats and Tracks of Alaska helps you determine just what has passed your way and could still be nearby.

This incomparable reference also includes rare species of particular interest or significance, such as the polar bear or a wolverine.
