Poop Detectives

Poop Detectives examines how trained dogs locate animal waste and other biological traces for scientific research. The book follows scat-detection dogs, including Wicket, Tucker, and Orbee, whose work can help researchers studying endangered animals. It also considers what fossilized dinosaur droppings can reveal about prehistoric life. These investigations take place both on land and at sea, showing how material animals leave behind can become evidence for science and conservation.
