One way to tell if an animal has been around is finding their scat (or poop). You can also tell if that animal is an herbivore, a carnivore, or an omnivore by what shape the scat is. Join Hancock Park District as we learn the scat of a few common mammals that live in Hancock County, like squirrels and skunk, and take a short hike to see if we can find any on the trails. Kids will also be able to make their own clay scat to take home.
