The Big Book of Wild Poop

It’s squishy and filled with icky things like hair, bones and skulls. But in the animal kingdom, scat is way more than undigested remains. For a deer, poop is social media.

One little plop of poop can save our planet and send adults scurrying out of the room with disgust. Now that’s what we call pooptastic. Are you ready to dive (noses pinched shut) into dung?
