Niwa scientists analysing the scat of leopard seals have come across an unexpected discovery – a USB stick full of photos and still in working order. This particular scat had been collected by a local vet checking on the health of a skinny leopard seal resting on Oreti Beach, Invercargill. The USB stick was found to be in "reasonably good condition considering where it had come from". "If they're yours and you want the USB stick back, it comes with a price. The leopard seal researchers would like some more leopard seal scat please," Niwa said in a release.
