An intern and I were killing a few moments the other day and somehow we began discussing how many different kinds of poop we step in each day. It's a Keeper thing. My our tally was that we knowingly step in 12 different kinds of animal poop everyday we are at work. That's a lot of poop, just one of many reasons my work boots stay at the Zoo. No way I'm tracking all that into my car and apartment. Of course some days we might step in more poop than others it depends. There are a few animals we work with that we can avoid stepping into their poop but not always. 12 is the average minimum we determined.
Who makes up the 12 Apostles of Poop? Well we've got: Duck, Peacock, Muntjac, Goat, Sheep, Camel, Llama, Donkey, Rabbit, Sea Lion, Emu, and Wallaby. The stinkiest of these being the Sea Lion, though Emu comes in a close second.
Needless to say my boots really are Poop Stompers!

I know I'm gross, but it'd be really funny if you had a flickr album dedicated to poop and the animals that go with it!
I must say, I am always surprised at how clean I stay at my job. Unless I help with Elephants, stables or zoo barn. Most of our animals are in small cages (ie you can't walk into them) and the bird poo is generally confined to right under the bird! Then again, having to do up to 4 shows a day on a stage does mean you need to stay pretty clean. -R
