These two reptile scats, each about 10cm long, were deposited on sand in early spring, as reptiles began emerging from winter hibernation. Reptile scat is identifiable by feces with a white cap of uric acid and potassium salts – an adaptation for ejecting nitrogenous wastes without the need to expel fluids through urination. The diet of this reptile, likely a goanna, appears to be insectivorous.
