Chris Packham launches poo-themed calendar showcasing the best animal droppings: ‘So much s**t!’-Alistair McGeorge-Entertainment – Metro

Chris Packham is launching a poo-themed calendar – no, we’re not joking.

The 61-year-old wildlife presenter is preparing to dump his 2023 Full Of S**t Calendar on customers, which is filled to the brim with photographs of animal dung.

He said: ‘There is so much s**t around these days you mustn’t lose sight of the real deal – the soft brown squelchy stuff on the sole of your shoe.

‘It’s packed full of interesting aromas and masses of important stuff that cutting-edge science needs to better understand and help conserve so many species.

‘It’s superbly ironic that so many species ‘in the s**t’ are finding a way out of it through what exits their anus. I love that, because I love all life – everything that creeps, crawls, slithers, slimes and stings – and everything that comes out of its a**e.’

The calendar features photos of excrement from a host of different animals, including pigs and badgers – no word yet on anything about bears and what they do in the woods.

He quipped in a Twitter video: ‘I’ve squeezed out one of a kind.’

An advertising blurb for the calendar reads: ‘Chris Packham brings you the seasons crappest calendar, constipated with his s**t pictures and all you need to know about the world’s most fascinating faeces.

‘But aside from the piles of poo there is a wealth of sensational new science which throws the spotlight on s**t when it comes to the wonders of nature. It’s a fun, funny, pun-packed, obscenely interesting publication suitable for all the family.’

Meanwhile, Chris has become a frontman for the Extinction Rebellion campaign group over recent years.

But the wildlife presenter previously insisted he doesn’t agree with everything that the environmental movement has done.

He said: ‘A lot of the – necessary – campaigning that we were doing was highlighting problems, rather than offering solutions.

‘The Self-Isolating Bird Club felt good because it was a solution to a problem for a lot of people. We could stop shouting at people, put our placards away for a bit.’
