When You Gotta Go

It happens. Babies do it. Bunnies do it. Birds do it (on your car). And although we don’t really like to talk about it, boyfriends do it too (let’s hope not on your car). Heck, there is even a book that lets toddlers know we all do it: Everyone Poops...

It happens. Babies do it. Bunnies do it. Birds do it (on your car). And although we don’t really like to talk about it, boyfriends do it too (let’s hope not on your car). Heck, there is even a book that lets toddlers know we all do it: Everyone Poops. (You should also read The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts; it’s fascinating!) And now Miami Metrozoo is really piling on the funky information with “The Scoop on Poop,” a traveling exhibition about “what poop is and how animals and humans use it.” How refreshing! Based on the book by Dr. Wayne Lynch, “The Scoop” uses colorful models and interactive displays to give you the dirty details of the crap we all leave behind. Do your duty and head to the zoo today from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is $11.50, $6.75 for children ages three to twelve. Call 305-251-0400, or visit www.miamimetrozoo.com.
