(CNN) A USB thumb drive has been found inside frozen leopard seal feces by marine researchers in New Zealand -- and it still works.

The stool sample, known as scat, was about the size of two bread rolls and had been kept in a freezer at the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) for over a year.

When volunteer Jodie Warren sifted through the thawed out sample several weeks ago to "get all the gross stuff out" she wasn't expecting to find an electronic device.

"It is very worrying that these amazing Antarctic animals have plastic like this inside them," Warren said in a statement.

Leopard seal feces is vital for scientists who can glean information about what the Antarctic predators eat, their general health and how long the animals may have been in New Zealand waters from the samples.

I know scat as a category, and videos to avoid on some select websites.

Exactly, and it probably came from some researchers going into their habitat trying to get all up in their shite.

Unfortunately, they found a bunch of under age seal porn on it.

Scat is official term, scatology is study of poop.

the biologically oriented study of excrement (as for taxonomic purposes or for the determination of diet)

Somewhere in New Zealand, a teacher owes a sincere apology to a student. A seal really did eat his homework.

So it ate an USB drive in Antarctica?

So what’s on it? Pics of the Nazi base? UFO manufacturing center? Other secret Govt shite they tossed in the water hoping it would disappear forever?
