Location is key when trying to identify badger poo. \u201cBadgers use their droppings to mark the boundaries of their territory, which can lead to poo wars when badger clans try to \u2018out-poo\u2019 each other at the key meeting points of their territories,\u201d says Derek Crawley from the Mammal Society. \u201cThey also use a latrine area shortly after waking up.\u201d Containing seeds and berries, droppings are usually purple, black or brown in colour and smell foul. <\/p>\n\n
