      Haha excellent question. Collecting dwarf mongoose poo is an essential part of my research. I collect poop to fool dwarf mongoose groups into thinking that a rival group has trespassed into the area of land they call home – i.e. they come across the poo that I collected from a rival group and think they are under threat. I can then look at how they respond in these situations.
