Being able to properly identify animal tracks and determine their approximate age is a great skill to have for wilderness survival. It can help you to hunt or trap game, find water, and avoid potentially dangerous animals. But what about the times when tracks aren’t present? Well, even when the ground or weather makes tracks hard to find, or impossible, there is something that all animals do that will help you get a positive identification on the species, the approximate size of the animal, and tell you how long ago that animal was in the area. Scat, or poop. It sounds funny, but it works. Here is an old-fashioned diagram with North American mammal scat shown to help you know what is in your area, so you can hunt it, follow it, or avoid it.
