Scatalog is a specialised and informative wildlife guide that explores the study of animal droppings as a tool for tracking and understanding wildlife. Written by Kevin Murray, the book is designed for nature enthusiasts, trackers, students, and outdoor professionals interested in field identification techniques.
The guide explains how different animals can be identified through their scat (droppings), providing detailed descriptions of shape, size, texture, and content. It covers a wide range of Southern African wildlife species and links scat characteristics to diet, behaviour, and habitat.
In addition to identification, the book offers insight into how scat analysis helps in understanding animal movements, population health, and ecosystem dynamics. It also supports tracking skills used in wildlife conservation, research, and eco-tourism.
Scatalog is widely regarded in wildlife tracking and ecological literature. It is ideal for rangers, researchers, hikers, and nature lovers, offering a practical and educational guide to interpreting wildlife signs and deepening understanding of animal behaviour in natural environments.
