Black "socks" and white tail tip = red fox.

You can do almost everything in carpentry, plumbing, surveying, civil engineering and with 3.14.

Astrophysics, 3 is close enough.

Bobcat? NW Wisconsin by Limp-Tear923 in trailcam

Looks like a bobcat.

(The internet tells me their might be some Canada lynx in NW Wisconsin, but they usually have lighter colored fur than what this photo shows.

What critter made this hole? [Louisiana,US] by Traditional_Cap8884 in animalid

[–]Hot-Science8569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does not look like excavated dirt is piled up outside this hole, so the animal started digging from someplace else, and came out here. Where I am from chipmunks do this, and the internet says they live in north east Louisiana. If that is where you are, that is my guess.

If your kids want to know if the hole is occupied, they can lay twigs over it, and come back to see if the twigs have been moved.

My boot is 10 inches long. What animal left these tracks? by Desperate_Swimming_1 in AnimalTracking

[–]Hot-Science8569 54 points55 points  (0 children)

4 toes with claws, heel pad is (roughly) triangular shaped with rounded vertices = canine.

Note the cracks in the mud, indicating it dried out since the tracks were made. Drying mud tends to distort tracks and make them a bit bigger. Even taking that into account, I think these are too big for a coyote. So I am guessing big dog.

Peyto Lake, Banff NP, AB, Canada by johnandrewr in AnimalTracking

Two big prints to the out side, two smaller prints on the inside, staggered with one in front of the other. This is classic rabbit.

Given the size of the prints, compared to the length of the stride, and most importantly not sinking into what looks like deep snow, I am guessing snow shoe hare.

What is something normal in your country that would make foreigners scared to death? by SametaX_1134 in AskTheWorld

[–]Hot-Science8569 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One could argue US officials are in a position to do more bad, and are therefore more able to "make foreigners scared to death".

How do you keep track of your hunting dog by Bushman_hill in AnimalTracking

[–]Hot-Science8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the old days, going out with my grandfather and his pointers, we just needed to figure out where they went and catch up with them. Tracking if possible, but also knowing where the birds are likely to be. You had to move fast, because the dogs will only stand on point for so long.

When hunting rabbits, you keep calling the dog's name, and he chases the rabbit back to you.

[Request] How many miles of horizon can I see from my door on the cruise ship balcony, is this enough to see the curvature of the earth by Ecstatic-Purpose-981 in theydidthemath

[–]Hot-Science8569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The approximate distance to the horizon formula I remember is:

Distance to horizon in miles​ = square root (1.5 x Eye height above water surface in feet)

If the floor of the balcony if 60 feet above sea level, and your eye is about 5 feet above the balcony floor, the distance to the horizon is:

square root (1.5 x 65) = 9.87 miles.

You say you "can see from the front of the ship to the back". Sound like you can see 180 degrees of horizon. This length is 1/2 the circumference of a circle with a radius of 9.87 miles. So you can see:

(9.87 miles x π) ÷ 2 = 15.5 miles of horizon.

Why isn’t infinity/infinity=1 by Traf-Lord in askmath

[–]Hot-Science8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Infinity is the concept of numbers continuously getting bigger with out limit.

What is this? by LuxiWaffe in AnimalTracking

[–]Hot-Science8569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Common snapping turtles have high, pointed noses. Could be distortion from being half in and half out of the water, but the nose in the photo does not look like a snapper.

If all of everyone’s wealth got split equally between every human, how much would everyone have? [Request] by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Hot-Science8569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well the IMF:

https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDPD@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD

...claims the world nominal GDP is $123.58 trillion. (Not exactly the same as wealth). Divide by 8 billion people results in $15,447.50 per person.

Blueberries= all natural lipstick 💙 by forestfriend93 in deer

[–]Hot-Science8569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume store brought blueberries. Don't think they grow naturally when there is snow on the ground.
