Although all the different scat we explored above is only a small number of animals, all species do it and we encourage you to:
1. Explore other species scat/defecation/poop – whatever you want to call it!
2. Pack out yours and your furry companions (yours domestic canines) poo in the backcountry and wilderness places you visit!
3. Sing the Scat Rap Song!
