Amanda Collecting Pooh’s Poop for Inspection

Another part of the daily health inspection is assessing the quantity and quality of the elephant’s poop. You need to look at how many clumps (healthy=6-10), the colour (healthy=lightly coloured), the size of the fibres (depends on the age of the elephant), the smell (healthy=smells like wet grass), and the water content (by squishing it in your hands). The poop can tell you a lot about the health of your elephant – even the age and sex!
