Answer 1

The muscles of the digestive tract.  Ever hear your stomach grumble?  It is the muscles in our digestive tract moving the food around.  With animals it is the same, and many herbivores p**p in little round balls, and some not so little.  Other animals which you may not have seen are horses, deer, elk, mountain sheep, mountain goats and moose. If I remember right, Nutria and muskrats have an elongated shape, as well as mice, rats, gerbils and hamsters.

The muscles used to push the food through from the stomach, on these animals make it round or oval shaped.
