Scat is an appropriate word for poop.
Scat is cool because you can learn a lot about animals, by studying the stuff that is in it. Ewwwww!
You can learn a lot about what animal’s eat. An owl’s scat has the bones of what it just ate. It has the fur of what it ate. If the creature eats a lot of leaves, it’s scat is green! (Second ewww!) Usually the bigger the animal, the bigger the scat. A deer is big, but his or her scat is small. Scat is not always the same because it depends on the season and the different kinds of food digest differently. 
I want to be scatologist; someone who studies scat, and a naturalist. Because I want to learn a lot about animals. 
These are picture of scat from different animals. I want to see if you know about what kinds of animals make what kind of scat. (Momma says I am a weird cookie!) I made Momma take these pictures (she earned extra Momma points!) Look at the scat picture, it has a number on it. Tell us what you think. The hints are the scat is either a bobcat, coyote, grey fox, rabbit, raccoon, red fox or a toad. 
I have read these books and they are good. I am reading the story of
Little Mole at Nature Nuts. I became a helper and I get to read books to the class.
