Poop. Doo-doo. Dung. Number 2. No matter what you call it, you'll be able to learn all about it at The Scoop on Poop, our latest special exhibition on view in the Pachyderm Building. Based on a popular children's book by the same name by Dr. Wayne Lynch, The Scoop on Poop leads visitors to an investigation of what poop is and how animals and humans use it.
Animals use poop to build homes, hide from enemies, attract mates, send messages and cool off - some even eat it! Veterinarians, farmers, naturalists, paleontologists, Maasai tribesmen and power companies use it too. Poop is a scientific puzzle and with a little detective work, you an learn a lot about an animal by what it leaves behind.
Created by Peeling Productions at Clyde Peeling's Reptiland in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, The Scoop on Poop is a fun, family-friendly exhibit featuring large colorful graphic panels, three dimensional models and interactive components. Visitors are invited to listen in on an animal's digestive system, learn the language of poop in countries around the world and even compete in dung beetle races!
Join us at The Scoop on Poop and take this fun, scientific look at a fascinating topic we all have in common.
