Greenlist: In strange animal news
>> The new eco-solution: Kangaroo farts, because they don't contain methane like cow farts do. Scientists are looking into giving cows and sheep the bacteria in kangaroo tummies, or encouraging people to eat more kangaroo meat instead of beef. (via Freakonomics)
>> Walruses stampede, trample each other. Global warming shrinks the sea ice walruses rest on, creating killer stampedes whenever walruses see something scary (like a polar bear).
>> Tibetan antelopes are getting killed for shawls. Conservationists, in an effort to prevent these antelopes from becoming extinct, are advocating for shawls made from the wool of non-endangered, domesticated Himalayan goats.
