Even Their Poop Smells Good
Okay, we wouldn’t say it necessarily smells good, but according to researchers, it doesn’t smell all that bad, either. Otters perform “scat dances” to leave their droppings. They stomp their hind feet and lift their tail, and researchers describe their droppings as smelling like violets. Seriously, how cute is that? That reason alone is enough to make you fall in love with them. Not only that, but their communal latrine area is how they exchange information, using the chemical cues in their feces. They communicate through their poop. We’re happy humans don’t do that, but humans do communicate with each other in the bathrooms! Do you ever wonder why women go to the bathroom in groups? It’s the best place to gossip. (BBC Earth)
