Dumping trash

Suspect:
bull - wearing fashionable clothes, big-sized; herbivorous
raccoon - wearing clothes that do not fit-poor? small sized; omnivorous

Trash:
fishbones
banana peels, etc

Final verdict:
Raccoon is an omnivore, therefore he would be the suspect who dumps trash like fishbones that he ate.

every contact leaves a trace: physical evidence.

with contact between 2 items, there will be an exchange: forensic evidence. --> Locard's exchange principle

Awareness Test

I counted 13 passes.

I got it correct but I did not see the bear. I learn from this activity that when we focus on something, we would actually be able to block out other things very effectively. Therefore, when we are preoccupied, our awareness will reduce drastically. This is very important for observations because maybe when we investigate, we focus too much on looking for a particular thing that we miss out other things.
