Science is a hoot. Researchers in Australia have finally found a repellant to help keep pesky kangaroos away from places where they do damage.
The bad news is, it’s dingo urine. You see the problem. You can’t just go to dingopee.com and order in a supply. For now, the researchers are getting theirs from Australia’s Dingo Conservation Society, but how it is gathered is a tightly held secret. I’m not making this up.
Says one of the scientists: “At one stage we fashioned a little urine catcher to walk dingoes and collect it from, but that tended to be risky.” Here’s the story:
