Poop Detectives: Working Dogs in the Field

Ginger Wadsworth

4.4/5 ( ratings)

How can dogs that sniff for excrement, urine, vomit, and mucus help protect animals from extinction?

Canine detec-tives use their super sense of smell to locate the scat of target animals. From loose bear dung to gooey whale poop, scat can tell scientists valuable information about an animal’s sex, age, diet, and health—all without harming the animal or endanger-ing the researcher.
