Meet Maya: The poo-sniffing pooch

Share

Meet Maya. Maya is a specially trained conservation detection dog with a nose that sniffs out koala scat - or poo. The poo can confirm if there are any koalas in the area, and can also reveal vital information about an animal’s health without the need to trap and handle them.
