Feces (also spelt faeces) is the waste from the digestive tract expelled from the anus of animals. It consists of undigested food residues, digestive secretions, and bacteria. The reddish-brown color of feces is derived from stercobilin, created by bacterial action on bilirubin, I believe.

Scatology is the study of feces.
