This scat is very large! It contains a lot of fibrous materials, from things like grasses and trees. You might find it in the African savanna or jungle.

Who pooped?

Leave a comment below with your guess. We will reveal the answer on Tuesday, August 23rd.

This month we have a special display on Africa which includes books and specimens, including the one featured above. Don't worry, it is safely enclosed in a display box. Come visit us in The Naturalist Center on the third floor here at the California Academy of Sciences if you'd like to see it in person.
