What can diet tell us about the organisms that are eating? Give three examples


If we look at an animal's poop, basically it can tell us a lot of things. For one thing it can tell us what kind of animal it just ate and where it ate it(the environment). A second thing we can learn by looking at the poop is tell whether or not the animal is healthy or sick. A third thing we can determine from the poop is what type of environment it likes to hunt in and what it likes to eat. For example, eagles like it eat a lot of different animals: rabbits, lizards, frogs, snakes, squirrels, other birds and even small dogs. Eagles can find their prey in the water, the grass, or even the tree, and we can know all that just by looking at its diet/poop.
