'Poop' is a bad word. It is also, depending on who you ask, a home, a weapon, a meal, and a way to save the planet.

In the animal kingdom, dung is serious business. Herbivores use scat the way we use social media. Tigers use it to mark territory. Dung beetles build homes in it and eat it for breakfast. Hoopoes weaponise it. Blue whales poop in quantities that actually help keep our oceans alive. And scientists collect all of it, enthusiastically, in the name of conservation.

Join author Shweta Taneja for a noisy, messy, gloriously disgusting science session on wild animals and what they leave behind.

Warning: you will be grossed out, you will giggle, and you will learn things you cannot unlearn.
