How do u differentiate b/w the pumarks of a male or a female tiger? Or, for that matter, a leopard?

Do tell ALL the differentiating features
Answers:
The pugmark of a male tiger is squarish, while the pugmark of a female is rectangular.

You can know all about pugmarks from the below link

you perform the same test you would do for any other mammal. if it has balls. it is a male. if not, it is female. the two cats you listed dont have any other gender specific markings.
Hi there.the pugmarks of adult leopards or tiger cubs are identical. The leopard leaves a tight trail with the toes and pad compressed while the toes are spread in the case of a tiger. Technically experts go by toe spread and toe advance, the space left between the pad and the toes. A male tiger leaves a squarish pugmark while a female's is rectangular.
