Animal tracks tell part of the story, but scat often reveals even more. This pocket-sized field guide helps hikers, naturalists, hunters, and curious outdoor explorers identify the mammals that share the landscape around them. Compact enough to slip into a backpack or jacket pocket, it turns an often-overlooked clue into a fascinating window into wildlife behavior and habitat. Using easy-to-follow identification keys, the guide helps readers distinguish between pellets, tubes, splats, and other forms of scat while learning what size, shape, color, and location can reveal about an animal. Detailed illustrations, species comparisons, and information about feeding habits and digestive systems make it a valuable companion for anyone interested in tracking and wildlife observation. Applicable throughout Michigan and much of eastern North America.
