Elephants, giraffes and rhinos are, like horses and cows, pure herbivores and their manure is probably
comparable, i.e., likely reasonably mild as compared to swine and chickens.

You did not ask about hippos, which also diet exclusively on plant matter, but they prefer to use it for
bathing in it

This is not a picture shot in an overcrowded zoo, but one taken in the “free and wild” of Africa.
About the filthiest animals I have seen in their natural environment.

Unfortunately there was no way to document the stench emanating from that pond
