Welcome to Natural Wonders, a weekly newsletter where I wonder about things like trees on stilts and creeks that rust. If you aren’t a subscriber and you’d love to have a little nature in your in-box, enter your email below:
Also interesting is elephant poop - also something you're unlikely to see in the wild in North Ga., but as you might imagine, looks like a pile of volleyballs...
Wow. Not something you want to to accidentally step into. I suppose hunters use that for tracking as well - human hunters as well as the four-legged kind.
I hadn't picked up the tubular/ pellet carnivore/ herbivore distinction before, but now I think about it, it does largely hold true for the species I know. Curious that cows are an exception to that though.
I tried to look that up to see why - I wondered if it had to do with their artificial diet, and in some cases it seems like it is. I went down a part of the internet discussing the runniness of cow poop that I don't care to go back down. I seems it has to do with protein additives or something.
Oh, that is interesting. The cows that I am familiar with all eat grass/ pasture and only hay as supplementary feed, but that may still not entirely what was natural for them.
