How closely do you examine your stool 💩 🚽 ?

Colleagues from the #GermanPrimatCenter did just that and collected stool samples from #tupaias and measured the sizes of the contained particles! We studied the effect of age on food breakdown and indeed found that senile animals had signifcantly more very large particles in their stool.

So, make sure to brush your 🦷 and remember to chew your food properly.
(And beware of what a stool sample can tell...)
