 The free Zoo Poo exhibition is on at the weekend |
A lot can be learned about animals from their toilet habits, according to a free exhibition at London Zoo. The Zoo Poo event, in Regent's Park, central London, promises to answer why Macaws do it while flying and why sloths are limited to once a week.
Visitors can also see exhibits of various animals' excrement - from mice to rhinos.
The exhibition, which also explains how vets use droppings to diagnose animal ailments, runs on Saturday and Sunday.
The zoo will provide a fact sheet to help identify night-time garden visitors by what they leave behind.
