Whose scat is that?
Scat is a word used for animal droppings, feces or poop, specifically for carnivorous wild animal droppings.
Feces for different creatures actually has different names:
- Bats and seabirds: Guano
- Caterpillars and other herbivorous insects: Frass
- Cows: Tath
- Deer: Fewmets
- Otters: Spraints
- Worms: Castings
- Fossilized dung: Coprolite
- Feces used as fertilizer: Manure
We sculpted scat for a new game in the lower level of the Dickinson County Nature Center. Can you match the scat to the predator?
