I was just thinking about animals and their turds. Do deer have round turds also? I don't know all the shapes of the turds of all animals, but rabbits are the only animal I can think of that have round turds.
Why is that?
goats drop little round ones too... i believe deer do as well...as for why... i have no idea
I believe it must have something to do with the shape of their a**holes. But I'm no scientist, so don't go by me.
or perhaps how they pinch it off?
Maybe they have little built in round turd molds inside them.
guinea pigs produce 1/4" long by 1/8" wide cylindrical droppings...
This question is fascinating...a friend of mine just told me another little-known fact about rabbits and their anuses.
He said that rabbits create some kind of nutrient called a cecotrope, which is an elongated, greenish colored, mucous-covered pellet which they eat from their own ass!
Actaually. Rabbits don't completely digest all of their food and in turn end up eating some of their little round turds. This is considered healthy for the rabbit.
But maybe your friend explained it better.
well same thing with pigs. they dont digest most of their food either. which is why they root through theirs...
Yes, but won't all animals eat their own turds, if given the opportunity?
I suppose they would if they didn't digest their food. Most animals completely digest their food before it comes out and we all know we won't do there.
You're all wrong. Rabbits work for
Mars, Inc.
Did you know, btw, that in Australia rabbit turds
is dried
and then used to built beautiful houses of it
That is funny. That is exactly what started this whole thing. We were eating chocolate balls that somebody brought us from Vegas, and we noticed the shape of them, and, well, you know the rest...
Speaking of Australia, maybe dlowan can help us answer this question.

That's the "why" of my post
Well, I still don't have my answer. Dlowan?
