Poo on view at animal exhibition
Zoo Poo exhibition
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.
