What:
Dr. Doo's work is piling up and he has been putting in double-doody just to make up this year’s batch of the season’s coveted holiday gift item – Holidoo, Woodland Park Zoo Doo’s ever-popular compost!

These 4-gallon buckets of hand-screened Holidoo make the perfect gift for the man or woman who has everything. This year, give your friends and loved ones what they really want: a bucket filled with well-rotted exotic animal poop—the gift that keeps on giving!

Holidoo is an exclusively packaged Woodland Park Zoo Doo product, which is available only during the holiday season at the ZooStore. Hurry, supplies are limited.

Zoo Doo is a fully composted blend of animal manures mixed with straw bedding, grass, leaves and wood chips from the grounds of Woodland Park Zoo. Which animals contribute to Zoo Doo? Elephants, of course, are the most generous, followed by ponies, hippos, zebras, giraffes, tapirs and many other herbivores (plant eaters). Adding this rich, dark Zoo Doo to your soil will enhance water and nutrient retention, and will improve soil texture. It is completely organic and smells slightly sweet.
