Wombat poos are box-shaped to stay where they're deposited and serve as messages to other animals.

Baby golden tortoise beetles pile poop on their backs to create a shield as protection from predators. Silver-spotted skipper caterpillars can shoot their poops 40 times their own body length to conceal their true locations. Baby hoopoes squirt their poops into the eyes of attackers — and who wants feces in their faces? Baby Ozark blind cave salamanders use gray bat guano for food.
The bottom (!!) line: Ever-inventive nature finds a thousand uses for poop. Nothing goes to waste (!!). This book is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser with a lot of information to share.
