Doesn't fox poo have a very "foxy" but not unpleasant smell and a pointed end? Cat poo smells foul. I've been told (somewhere, probably on a Ray Mears wildlife prog or the like) that all predators turds have a pointed end. Presumably to prevent the anus slamming shut and thus giving their presence away to their prey. I do like that one :-) |
