Quote, paraphrase, and citation #4

Tracks - The moose track is slightly larger and more pointed than that of the elk and similar in shape to a deer's but twice as large. The track may be blunted if the ground is rocky and hard, making it more difficult to distinguish from the elks. A typical print is of two pointed pear shapes with the tips closer than the wider bottom.

           We know that the tracks of elk, deer, and moose are slightly similar, but they are indeed different.  Moose tracks are a little bit bigger and pointier than the elk's.  They are also twice the size of a deer's!  If the ground they are walking upon is hard and rocky, it may be a little difficult to tell the difference.  They look like pears with close tips and wider bottoms.
