Mar 12, 2007 4:15 pm - Voted 10/10 Re: Album name It will be interesting to see where this leads and who participates. Personally, I would value a serious album that could be used as a reference library for identifying animal scat much more than a humorous album. One that identifies the animal and has some discipline so as not to have 25 different photos of the same kind of scat.

(Do we really need 25 photos of deer scat to identify what it is?) I'll upload a few photos when I get some time. Nov 4, 2007 9:36 am - Hasn't voted Album Revamp I like the idea for this album.but what about making it a bit more systematic? Call it Animal Spoor, and then have children pages for different animals. Each children page could have as many photos of feces, tracks, and other animal sign for that particular animal, particularly because spoor can look different in different parts of the country or world depending on diet or lighting. The different array of photos would become a tool to help other SPers identify the animal spoor properly in the field.

I realize that this may be too big of a project of this kind for SP. My undergrad degree is in Wildlife Biology and I just think this way! Dec 15, 2013 10:02 am - Hasn't voted mystery scat so i was doing some contracting work in Prescott, Az and found a boxed in cubby hole (3'x4') in an abandoned building, the wall had been recently opened up and there was this scat. Big, black, the size and shape of dried up prune pellets, i should've gotten a picture and can go back for one but curious if anyone had any ideas, i have seen lots of scat in rural Az but this was in a semi-developed area (w/open high desert land around it) and i had never seen the likes - too small for dear or bear and in a rural shopping ctr thanks - toby.
