Zoo Poo: Elmwood Is Now Selling 'The Finest Poo Out There'

NORRISTOWN, PA — Amid the coronavirus crisis, businesses have had to be creative to stay on their feet and find unique ways to keep some sort of revenue stream going.

And perhaps none has embodied that spirit of unbridled entrepreneurship more than Elmwood Park Zoo, which has already launched live animal streams and a virtual education program, as well as live giraffe feedings as a fundraiser.

Now, for something completely different: Zoo Poo. Yes, excrement from their very own animals is now up for sale.

"You’re probably thinking is this a load of s#!t?" a social media announcing the sale reads. "It sure is, a 2 gallon bucket of it! Bring part of Elmwood Park Zoo home with you!"

The zoo recommends using the excrement — "the finest poo out there " — as garden fertilizer.

"It will allow your plants and vegetables to thrive," the zoo advises.

The poo being sold is from some of the zoo's grandest residents, including zebras, bison, and elk.
