Not only are they cute and cuddly (and deadly); giant kung fu pandas could also help produce biofuel…
…from their POOP! Yuck!
Apparently, there is an enzyme-producing bacteria in panda poo that breaks down plant materials that could be useful in the production of biofuel.
Seeing as how biofuel is a source of “clean” energy, it definitely seems worth looking into.
And don’t worry, scientists plan on finding a way to use yeast to generate the enzyme, saving people from sweeping the jungle floors of China, searching for “brown gold.” LOLz.
