scat
Animal droppings examined for what they reveal — diet, health, species, time of passage, and the habits of a creature you may never see. Shape, size, color, contents, placement, and freshness each tell a different part of the story.
Etymology
From Greek skor, skatos, dung. The scientific tone of the word gives permission to look closely at something most people step over.
