RUDY MANCKE:
Hi, this is Rudy Mancke from USC for NatureNotes.
Jay lives in the Aiken area and had opened the garage door and saw what he was thinking was scat of some animal. He was correct.
Part of it was a black elongated part, which is actually, you know, leftover food. And then there was a white dot at the end, which is a solid nitrogenous waste material.
It's not a liquid, it's solid. That told me what this was — lizard scat is what was going on. Birds and reptiles get rid of nitrogenous waste material. Not as a liquid, but as a solid. And it's that white color we're probably all familiar with.
