poop, number two, feces, scat...
Task: Choose 3 of the following pieces of feces and try to name the animal that each of them came from. Then tell me what you think their diet is and why.
Oh, and to answer some of your questions. No, we do not wear gloves when we are handling the feces but we do make sure that we wash our hands very well when we are done. The first time I touched a piece of feces I felt very nervous and thought that it would be very gross but it wasn't bad and I felt good because I knew that what I was doing would help the environment and the mammals. There are many ways to tell which animal a piece of feces came from: smell (some mammals have sweet smelling feces while others have very foul smelling feces), size, what is in it (hair, bones, seeds), and shape (some mammals feces always looks twirly, while others break off into chunks).
I hope you can figure out the feces I have posted. Next time I will give you the results and tell you why looking at feces is so important.

Erin, Karen and I think your scat is from raccoons, rabbits and deer. We just got home from up north so we are catching up with your blog. It's cool. We will be anxiously awaiting your next entry.
Love Ya, Dad and Karen
Dear Ms. Livingston,
It looks like feces samples A and C are from carnivores because there is fur in both. But I was thinking that my dogs sometimes have lots of hair in their poop, even though they don't eat anything with fur. It's because they lick their fur a lot and the fur gets in their feces. How can you be sure that fur in the feces is there because the animal ate something with fur?
Also, is there a scientific reason you don't use gloves to touch the feces or is it just easier not to?
Thanks for teaching us all about your adventures! We miss you lots.
Love,
Ms. Scott
Dear Ms.Livingston

Dear Ms.livingston,
The first feces I pick is B. I think that the feces is from a vole or mouse because,the poop is very small.
The next one I pick is C. I think it is from a bear that is an carnivore.I think it is from a bear because,the feces has a bone in it.
The next one that I pick is D. I think that D is from a rabbit because,the feces has seeds in it,and rabbits eat a lot of seeds. Oh,and you still haven't answered my question about what the name of the ocean you work by,and my question about how cold it is there.
Love,
Zori

Third grade thinks that: A. came from a fox. We saw hair and bones inside it. We think B. came from a rabbit. C. a bear D.raccoons and E. from deer. We can't wait to find out the answer! We enjoy your videos! :) We hope to see more!
A I think A is a owl because owl eat mouse.
B I think B is a rabbit because rabbit poop small.
F I think F is a mouse because mouse poop small.
I think A is a rabbit because a got hare on it and i had a rabbet and the same feces.
And i think B is a deer because the feces is smell
I think D is a owl because you said that you saw a owl and all of them look kind of the same bot not D.
C. I think that it eats bonus and it come from a bear. D.I think that it comes from a dear because it eat different thinks.F.I think that it comes from a baby lion so I think it is a baby lion
A.is wolf
B.is deer
C.is bear
D.is I'm not sher I think it is a wolf to
E.wild cat
F.it is rabbit.
I think B. Is a mis because it is small and the mis is small so it's but hole is small to.
I think F. Is a rabbet because it is big.
I think A. Is a dogs because it looks like one.
number two looks like rabbit's poop because its really little and there might be little baby rabbits to.love Alex.
F. I think the feces of the picture
that shows on F look like mouse poop
because mouses are fat and they have long tail so if their small and fat
they do little balls of feces.
E.the feces of the on shown in E looks like their are worms inside the feces so I think it was a deer who did that feces because deers are very shy and when they go to poop they actually do small feces.
D. Ms.Livingston I wonder who did
that feces on letter D because it
looks so weard.I think it was like
kind of a big birds feces because
they love to eat seeds

Dear Ms.Livingston we think that the letter A is a fox scat.The letter B is from the vole and mouse.The letter F is from the deer.
Hey Ms. Livingston, I think that your feces collection is from rabbits, dear, and squirrels. I don't think any of those feces is from the mice, since mice typically have smaller feces. Have you been able to read any good books? I am going to read a great one to your class tomorrow. I can't wait to see if I am correct or wrong.
A. We think that it is a big animal because it has hair in the feces.
B. We think that it is a little animal because it does not have hair in the feces and because it is not big.
D. We thinkn it is a small animal because it has vegetables and sunflower seeds in it.
Love
Jose G,Ana

Dear Ms.Livingston We know all the quetins that you told us.
C. We think that this is a big animal because we see eyes, a beak, and bones in the feces.
A. we think it is a big animal because it is white and we see bones and it looks like a nest.
D. We think that it looks like a chocolate. We see seeds like apple seeds. we think it's a small animal because it's a small feces.
