# 'Like a dog with no legs swimming through whale shit'

# No word of a lie,
but there was an article in new scientist last year about researchers trying to find out about whale health. Apparently, the best way to find this out wuithout cutting them up, is to study their scat.

How do you find and collect Whale Scat? Why you train a rottweiler to act as a whale scat sniffer, give it a life jacket, and tether it to the prow of your boat, and follow its noise.

Apprently, whale shit really stinks, and if you get it on your clothes, the smell aint ever coming off.
