Hey there, curious minds! Are you ready to play a fun and educational game called “Whose Poop Is This?” Let’s dive into the world of animals and their unique droppings!
Our first animal is quite large, but its poop is surprisingly small and very dry. Can you guess if this poop belongs to a giraffe, a lion, an elephant, or a zebra? The answer is the giraffe! Giraffes are amazing at digesting their food. They squeeze out every bit of nutrition, which makes their poop really compact and dry.
Next up, we have an animal whose poop is white. Is it a wildebeest, a hyena, a gazelle, or a white rhinoceros? The answer is the hyena! Hyenas often eat bones, which are full of calcium. This calcium makes their poop turn white. Isn’t that interesting?
Our final mystery involves poop that is full of dung beetles. Which animal’s poop is this? Is it an aardvark, a hornbill, a jackal, or a bat-eared fox? The answer is the bat-eared fox! These foxes have big, cute ears that are super sensitive. They can even hear insects moving underground, which helps them find food.
Thank you for joining us in the game “Whose Poop Is This?” We hope you had fun learning about these amazing animals and their unique ways of leaving clues behind. Keep exploring and discovering the wonders of nature!
Animal Poop Detective: Go on a nature walk with a parent or guardian and look for animal droppings. Take a notebook and draw what you find. Try to guess which animal might have left it behind. Remember to observe from a distance and not touch anything! Discuss your findings with your family and see if they can help you identify the animal.
Calcium Experiment: Just like hyenas, we can see the effects of calcium in our everyday life. Take a small piece of chalk and place it in a cup of vinegar. Observe what happens over a few days. What do you notice about the chalk? Discuss how this experiment relates to the white poop of hyenas.
Create Your Own Animal Game: Use what you’ve learned to create a new game about animals and their unique characteristics. Draw pictures of different animals and write clues about them, just like in “Whose Poop Is This?” Play the game with your friends or family and see who can guess the most animals correctly!

Hey smart people! It’s time to play everyone’s favorite game: “Whose Poop Is This?”
This large animal has deceptively small poop, and it’s very dry. Did this poop come from a giraffe, a lion, an elephant, or a zebra? Giraffes digest their food very efficiently to extract as much nutrition as possible, which makes their waste really compact.
Next question: This mystery animal’s poop is white. Is it a wildebeest, a hyena, a gazelle, or a white rhinoceros? The cause of this unusual colored scat is calcium from bones that they’ve eaten.
Last one: This animal’s dung is full of dung beetles. So, who is this beetle maniac? Is it an arvar, a hornbill, a jackal, or a bat-eared fox? The bat-eared fox has cute points for its big ears, but they are much more than that. In fact, their ears are so sensitive that they can even hear insects underground.
