    At The Poop Museum, everyone learns many fantastic, fabulous and fun facts about human, animal and insect poop, many of which truly amaze and surprise.
    Just a few of the poopers that visitors to the Poop Museum will meet, include:
    - The world’s messiest pooper
    - The animal that has poop attack powers
    - The animal that uses poop as protection
    - The rainbow pooper
    - The animal that has to hold its poop ALL winter long
    At The Poop Museum, everyone learns A LOT, and some of the facts that are shared are mind blowing! But The Poop Museum is also full of laughter … because … well … our subject is poop and Susie has found a wonderful way to blend solid science, with the hilarity that humans love, when it comes to poop.
