Crottes de bêtes ! Les excréments des animaux

All animals leave droppings! Each has its own technique, shape, and special name! For example, we talk about "horse manure," "cow patties," "pellets" for goats or sheep, and "leavings" for wild boars.


Studying animal excrement helps us better understand how they live. Diet, health, sex, age, fertility period, DNA… it’s a true goldmine of information!


Once expelled, droppings are far from useless! On the contrary, they’re a delicacy for many insects and even larger animals, like reindeer! They also enrich the soil, making for fabulous fertilizers. Droppings can even be used as insulation or fuel.

"Crottes de bêtes ! Les excréments des animaux" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
