Grizzly bear scat (feces) is surprisingly tasty and nutrious due to the bear's inefficient digestive system and its diet of berries. Native Americans and early European settlers in North America used to collect and dry the scat for use as an emergency foodstuff during long winters. An extreme sports company in British Columbia is now test-marketing a new energy bar called a "Scat Patty". Their motto: When that hike is a real "bear" and you really need to "scat".
