Not only is it elephant, giraffe and rhino poo but it also contains plant clippings, old hay and poop from hippos and other creatures. The grounds keeper that loaded it up for me said that plants grow like crazy with this compost.
It didn't take long to load it in my pickup but took me 2.5 hours to unload haha My new beds have a nice 6-8" layer of compost added today.

I had to smile at this. I can picture you going to the zoo wanting a good fertilizer but at the same time dreading the task of shoveling fresh poop. Then to discover that it's already composted!
I can relate to the job of unloading, but from the looks of your treasure it is worth the chore. Is it wrong that I should envy you?
