That Crap Is Worth Its Weight in Gold

“CANBERRA, Australia (Reuters) — A tiger’s roar might be scary, but Australian researchers have found that the predator’s poo is just as potent.

Researchers at the University of Queensland said on Friday they had successfully trailed a tiger poo repellant, warding off wild goats for at least three days.

“Goats wouldn’t have seen a tiger from an evolutionary point of view for at least 15 generations but they recognize the smell of the predator,” repellent creator Peter Murray said in a statement.

“If we can show this lasts weeks … we’ve just tapped into probably a billion-dollar market. It’s enormous,” he said.

Murray said the repellant, made of fatty acids and sulphuric compounds extracted from tiger excrement, also worked on feral pigs, kangaroos and rabbits and might deter deer, horses and cattle too.”
