    Jurassic Park has a moment where Ellie Sattler is literally elbow deep in triceratops poop. It was a pile of poop as big as a person.

    …so, my question is, if dog shit smells different than cat shit, then how would directors know which scent of shit would best accentuate that scene’s full realistic immersion?

      Dogs are omnivores, while cats were until recently carnivores. Triceratops is a herbivore, so it would have likely smelled more like a dog’s. Probably not that much different than a cow’s.

          Depends how you define carnivorism

          If carnivores are animals that eat meat in nature, then cats are carnivores

          If carnivores are animals that absolutely require meat to survive, then cats stopped being carnivores a little while ago.
