Who Journal- Example

          (Answer) When I look at the track that I found today I believe that I have found a fox track. (Proof) It looks like a fox track because it looks similar to a dog but is smaller. (Example/Extension) The reason I think it is a fox and not a coyote is because when I look on page 47 of Wild animal Tracks of Ontario I found that the fox track is 4cm wide while the coyote is 6 cm wide and this track is 4cm wide. (Conclusion) That is why I believe this is a fox track.
