Sorry Charlie, Tiger poop is more useful than tiger blood.
A team of researchers made the discovery as they while studying non-lethal ways to keep herbivores (goats, kangaroos, ect…) away from certain plants, Associate Professor Peter Murray said.
“If you can smell a predator nearby you would probably want to go somewhere else,”
he added.
In the study they found big cats’ faeces a more effective deterrent than those of other predators.
It also works on humans – the smell was so bad that it made the scientists feel sick.
We want to know what repels the tigers.
