The only reason I posted this is because of a strange sentence at the beginning of the article:

Quote:
Three photographs of a male jaguar and exactly 132 poop samples (including the one above, released February 10) are the first known evidence of the predator since the early 1900s.


Maybe it's just my sense of humor!

is there a way to match animal poop with animals.

i know deer poop looks like pebbles and my dogs love to eat it. Cow poop are large mounds of doo, same as horse doo-doo

yeah, if you're a decent animal-tracking person, you not only know what it is by it's poop, but what it's been eating (and thus can make guesses about it's health) and sometimes, i think, how old it is (or atleast how big.)

You can learn a lot from poop.

I would think National Geographic would at least call it feces or something. I do like the word poop a lot though. Poop and pants are like the 2 most perfect words in the English language.

Too pooped topic

I did not see any of the reported 132 pieces of poop. Is that picture before or after the one of the short earred dog? :(

Beautiful coat. I hope that jag can hide well. 8O
