Olivia's School Project

 Olivia had to do a science career in a box.  She chose to be a Whale Scat Researcher.

 Things she learned:
Scat is poop.
Whale poop feeds a lot of creatures in the ocean.
Dogs can smell it better so they bring dogs on the boats.
Dogs can also smell cancer and other disorders in humans.
You can find out which whale it is, if it's pregnant, male/female, if it's sick, what it's been eating, even if it is stressed.
Clothes pins hurt your nose, but they work!
