Rangers at Yosemite National Park are encouraging hikers to keep their eyes on the ground for bear poop, and take a good look to see what it can tell them about wildlife in the area.
In a Facebook post this week, Rangers explained how a bear's diet can influence its leavings, and changes throughout the year. For example, during the summer months they will eat more fibrous food like fruit and seeds, as well as bones, which can't be digested completely and result in larger, looser piles of poop.
