A Dozen Words for Dung

Posted by Leigh in Animal Fun Facts

One of the things that we end up talking about a lot at the Zoo is poop.  The animals make a lot of it, so the keepers get to clean it up.  Class and camp topics like “The Scoop on Poop” and “Scat Attack” are always popular, as are match-the-poop games.  We have a recipe for poop cookies.  Even when we don’t plan to talk about it, our handling animals often introduce the concept by relieving themselves during programs. 

So today, for your entertainment, here is a PG-rated list of a dozen fecal terms:
