| "There are definitely animals here," said Dad. "We're going to learn about them from their scat."
"Scat?" said Michael. "What's scat?" "Scat is the word hikers and trackers use for animal poop," Mom said. "This big flat thing is bison poop. People call these buffalo chips." "It looks hard," said Michael. "Not squishy like poop." "Fresh bison poop is squishy," answered Dad. "But it dries out. You can tell how old it is by how hard it is. "Bison?" said Emily. "I thought Mom said this was from a buffalo." "Technically, they're called bison," Dad responded. "But early settlers called them buffalo because they look like buffaloes from other parts of the world, and the name stuck." -from pages 9-11 |
