Auswurf


Explanation:
Langenscheid sagt: "Auswurf" (abgestossene Haut Bsp.: Schlange, Insekt), Gewölle (von Raubtieren). Exkremente sind zwar nicht unter diesem übersetzen Begriff aufgeführt, werden aber auch als "castings" bezeichnet.

Nehme an, dass der Begriff "Auswurf" auch die "Exkremente" beinhaltet.

Example sentence(s):
  • A snake shedded and left a cast(ing) behind.
