Scientists ponder why kangaroos fart less than sheep.

[solid_]

Australian scientists are trying to work out why kangaroos don't fart as often as sheep and cattle.

Queensland Government scientists are investigating microbes in kangaroos' stomachs.

The Department of Primary Industries researchers want to isolate the bacteria in kangaroos that prevents the production of methane.

ABC News Online says they then plan to see if it can be used to reduce gas emissions from cattle and sheep.

If successful, the move could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.

Department of Primary Industries Minister Henry Palaszczuk said: "If we can have a breakthrough there, it'll be great news for the environment because at the end of the day it will mean a reduction in the 60 million tonnes of gas emissions that come from our cows and our sheep each year."

Be great for the environment if they can solve this.

Wow!

I guess I didn't know that that was a problem.

It makes me think twice about singing Ba Ba Black Sheep with my kids.

That make's me think the nursery rhyme Ba Ba Black sheep was banned from being sung in all english nursery school,s
Its rasict being reason why they banned it.


Ba Ba white sheep anyone ?

Think that might reduce the smell? I sure hope so!

*holding nose and spraying industrial size can of room spray*

I got sheep AND cows across the street. And down the street.

the sheep are obviously eating more spicy food than kangaroos

 

[SINthysist]

Someone is trying to pass the buck...

We all know, MAN IS THE PROBLEM!

(Without man, no freaking cows. Everything else would eat them!)

Aussie scientists obviously know bugger all about biology. Sheep don't fart, they belch. So they're holding their methane sensors to the wrong end of the sheep.

Sounds like the whole experiment is an excuse for the Aussies to play with sheeps bums.

Must be true, the Welsh are a world authority!

wow, i'll sleep better tonight knowing somebody's on that one.

Maybe the sheep aren't getting packed as tight?

oh but missy....i think maybe that is it...<nodding>...the sheep and....yikes..the cows....are getting buttfucked regularly....having air packed into their rectum....via some sloppy manfucking....while the kangas......are so hard to catch and fuck (and omg boney lil mf's to hold down).....they're not getting air trapped in their rectal passages....<nodding still>.....those sheep and cattle....are doing some butt queefs (sp?)....prolly not actually intestinal gas...but fuck gas....ya know?

ok, I will not be eating lunch today....glad those eggs have settled well to boot

 

[ShamelessFlirt]

If you stop them from farting, won't they shit more?

*LOL*
Well put I was thinking the same.
