Or police spot a tiny but suspicious bloodstain at a crime scene. Quickly determining whether such traces come from humans or animals is crucial, but the necessary tests can be time-consuming and may destroy valuable evidence. Researchers say a new technique could help.

They shined infrared light on dried samples of human blood and on those of 10 animal species, including common pets such as dogs, cats and ferrets, as well as deer and elk (both of which are often struck by vehicles).
