The data quality for this game is very poor. (One might say even say it's shitty.)
I guessed wolf, game says it's bigger. I guessed cougar, game says its bigger again. I eventually struck out, turns out the animal was a sheep. I'm pretty sure wolves and cougars are bigger than sheep.
Worse yet, that's not sheep dung! Sheep dung is lots of individual round pellets, this was a single turd.
I can't believe I'm complaining about inaccurate poop data on a silly quiz site, but here we are.
Edit: here's the Wikimedia link for the curious:

I'm still suspicious, this is very unusual for a sheep.

- patent_man 16d agoFeedback is appreciated, thank you! The image is definitely labeled as sheep dung on Wikimedia Commons, but I will check the order of the listings for animal sizes. Edit: I changed today's picture for a more typical example, and also ran through the list to check the sizes of the animals.
- bariumbitmap 16d agoThanks for looking into this. You really shouldn't take the descriptions on Wikimedia Commons at face value, those are uploaded by volunteers and sometimes people label things inaccurately.
- patent_man 16d agoSadly I am a trusting man. But I shall verify from now on!
- xnx 16d agoAgree. Google image consensus is very different: https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=sheep+dung https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=sheep+dung
- voakbasda 16d agoSheep farmer here. You are right to be suspicious. Healthy sheep poo does indeed look like a little pile of loose pebbles. However it is not uncommon for something to cause their stool to turn into a lump or patty. The pebbles can cluster together like pomegranate seeds or dissolve into a single mass of varying viscosity. The cause can be everything from diet changes, bacterial infections, parasitic infestations, or even stress. If I owned the sheep that produced the sample from Wikimedia, I would be concerned about the animal’s health and be looking to intervene actively. That turd just ain’t right.
