PUG MARKS OF CANID, SLOTH BEAR AND ELEPHANT

• Since the wild dogs or canids have non-retractile claws in all limbs, the paw impression is always accompanied by claw-marks, in front.
• In case of sloth bear tracks, the foot prints appear flat due to the presence of flat sole in their limbs.
• In case of elephants, the size itself reveals the elephant’s foot marks.
• In fox, the pugmarks are very close to the median line, creating an impression of rope walking.
