Just outside the playground area, we found some tracks in the dirt. Now Nicholas loves to look for and identify animal tracks but these tracks threw him off.
He studied them closely then announced that they were the tracks of a red jaguar. Then he pointed and said, "He went that way!" and we followed the tracks for a little way. We talked some more about the tracks as we followed them. We talked about paw prints and realized that we didn't really see paw prints in these tracks. We talked about cars, trucks, and go-carts and what kind of print a tire might leave on the ground. He put it all together and figured out that these really weren't the tracks of the wiley red jaguar. That's a shame though because that would be a very interesting sighting for these North Texas suburbs!
