Track down 3 different animals whose tracks are found in these three letterboxes. Begin each letterboxing journey from shelter 3 near the playground.

Box 1: clues to find the box and guess which mammal track is on the stamp in each box:

I scrambled across the playground quickly as dusk fell--pausing only briefly to open my mouth wide, hiss and show my 50 teeth to a stray dog that came too near. Then I turned tail (a pretty pink tail I might add) and headed onto the trail toward shelter 2. Just before I got to the small wooden bridge, I spotted a great hiding place...a wide, short stump. You can find me "playing dead" at the base of this stump. Who am I?

Box 2:
I wandered west away from shelter 3 toward the parking lot and onto the white trail and headed into the woods, sneaking like a 'bandit'. As I came to the trail intersection, I ambled to the left (south) until the trail and the nearby creek almost touch. Before anyone might see my striped tail, I decided to take cover in a hollow at the base of a big old oak tree on the left side of the trail. Who am I?

Box 3:
I was lumbering along onto the white trail away from the parking lot but then....yawn...I decided to 'bear' right at the trail intersection. When I spotted an orange dot on a post at the next trail intersection, I decided that I was too tired and too full of fish and berries to continue travelling. So, instead of crossing the bridge, I veered off the trail into the woods looking for a place to take a long winter nap. You can find me by clambering over the huge fallen tree; look inside the hollow on the other side. Who am I? (Watch out--don't touch any of those fuzzy vines growing up the tree trunks--they'll make you itch!!)
