Paw print

A paw print is the mark left by an animal's paw on a surface, showing the shape and details of the pads and claws. It helps identify the animal's species, size, and sometimes even individual traits. For example, a dog’s paw print typically shows four toe pads and a larger pad at the heel, while a cat’s print is smaller with distinct toe pads. Paw prints are useful in tracking animals, studying their behavior, or locating where they’ve been. They are valuable clues in wildlife research, hunting, and pet identification.
