Stuarts` Tracks & Scats SA

The new Stuarts’ Tracks & Scats of Southern Africa mobile app is a handy tool for deciphering the tracks, trails, droppings, bird pellets and other signs left by more than 250 mammals, birds and reptiles passing through the African bush.

Based on the latest edition of the highly successful book, Stuarts’ Field Guide to the Tracks & Signs of Southern, Central & East African Wildlife, it covers ten countries, from South Africa through to Zambia.

The app includes highly accurate track and scat drawings, detailed species descriptions, multiple photographs and videos to give a comprehensive visual account of each animal’s tracks and signs. Additional smart search filters, including search-by-region functionality, and shortcut keys to tracks and scats allow for more accurate identification of spoor to family and species level.
