Holidoo: Zoo sells elephant poop in time for Christmas

Believe it or not, people who garden might actually want some elephant dung to spread around their flower beds. From a zoo spokeswoman:

"Holidoo is the ideal present for garden enthusiasts or that person who seems to have everything! The festively packaged Holidoo product is available exclusively during the holiday season only at the ZooStore in jumbo-sized, 4-gallon containers. Traditional Zoo Doo compost is also available in 2-gallon buckets or pints for stocking stuffers."

In that case, maybe the naughty kids really will get dung in their stockings.

Holidoo is a blend of elephant manure and bedding, "the biggest and richest composting materials at the zoo," according to zoo officials. A four-gallon container costs $20.

The year-round Zoo Doo costs $12.95 for a two-gallon container and $4.95 for the pint-sized "stocking-stuffer" container. Both blends are available at Woodland Park's two ZooStores.
