Concerning message #21833:

Dear Bill,
Well I had a good laugh at your reply and do feel quite stupid. I did find the position of the opening odd but never considered that it was the anus and that the animal was defecating having never seen its egg ribbon. Color variation of the pellets between the two photos (taken within minutes of each other of the same animal) are simply differences between camera and strobes.

Dear Barbara,
No need to feel stupid - even for a millisecond. There is no point in asking only those questions you already know the answer to - and hopefully a lot of others learnt something new as well. Concerning the colour of the faecal pellets in the two photos - You mentioned two animals so I assumed you had each photographed different ones. I must admit I thought it a bit of a co-incidence that they both needed relief at the same time.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
