Traveling Exhibitions - The Scoop on Poop

Fish do it, frogs do it, pythons, eagles and elephants do it, yet poop is one of those subjects we find difficult to talk about with a straight face. Kids, however, are positively fascinated by it and we can learn a lot about an animal by examining what it leaves behind.

The Scoop on Poop is a new traveling exhibition based on the popular book by science writer Dr. Wayne Lynch. It leads visitors on an investigation of what poop is and how animals use it - to build homes, hide from enemies, attract mates, send messages, cool off and yes, some even eat it! The exhibition also explores the ways veterinarians, paleontologists, field biologists, farmers, Maasai tribesmen, and power companies make use of animal waste.

The Scoop on Poop features large colorful graphic panels, three-dimensional models, and sturdy interactive components. Visitors

are invited to listen in on an bear's digestive system, learn the language of poop in countries around the world, examine fecal samples in a veterinarian's lab, compete in dung beetle races, track wild animals by clues left in scat, see how long it takes an elephant to poop their body weight, improve their #2 IQ in stool school, and meet a dinosaur dung detective.

The Scoop on Poop treats the subject with a tactful blend of good science and fun. Produced under exclusive contract with author Wayne Lynch, The Scoop on Poop was created by the same team who brought you Reptiles: The Beautiful and the Deadly and Frogs - A Chorus of Colors.
