Quiz 6
What's going on here?
It's too dark for dirt from the ground so it must be scattered poop of some kind. I'm guessing it's poop that dung beetles have played in!!

Close, but you have to guess the animal to win the prize!!
Anita Dec 18, 2014 5:38 AM
It must be elephant poop because of the quantity!
Beth Dec 18, 2014 5:41 AM
I'm going to guess rhino poo since Beth already guessed elephant.
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 5:58 AM
Yes, rhino poo is correct. What's the rest of the story here?
Anita the Tooth Puller Dec 18, 2014 6:09 AM
Rhino poo scattered by dung beetles?
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 6:10 AM
Nope.
Anita the Succinct Dec 18, 2014 6:13 AM
Rhino poo being used as fertilizer for crops planted on the side of the road.
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 6:17 AM
Nope, no human intervention here. Nor dung beetles.
Anita the Hopeful Dec 18, 2014 6:19 AM
After having a nice big poo, the rhino rolled in it to protect his skin from flies and sun.
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 6:26 AM
On the right track, but still wrong.
Anita the Disappointed Dec 18, 2014 6:36 AM
After having his morning poo, the rhino was suddenly attacked by a pride of lions! In the ensuing scuffle, his poo was scattered?
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 6:54 AM
Omg! Mel, you are killing it! Rhino poo stepped in by gazelle to cover their scent so cats can't track them?
Beth Dec 18, 2014 8:28 AM
Second correct guess: rhino poo scattered by birds who wee digging through it to pick out berries, seeds, etc
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 9:36 AM

vicki Dec 18, 2014 10:45 AM
I googled "midden" and I have to say ; Vicki hit it on the head!!
impressed Beth Dec 18, 2014 12:56 PM
ANSWER: Yes, it's a rhino midden. The whole family will eliminate here, then the males will stomp about in it and mark the territory while wandering about browsing.
