Via Reuters: How is dingo urine gathered? Carefully, study says
The article is about how Australian researchers are finding that dingo urine is good for driving off wild kangaroos, which are both a vehicle collision hazard and cause problems with reestablish vegetation at mine sites.
The key paragraph:
Parsons’s team is looking at ways of delivering the repellent effectively at mine sites and how much would be needed, as well as whether it could be used to reduce the number of collisions between kangaroos and vehicles on outback roads. He said the university was also trying to isolate and synthesise the active chemicals in dingo urine so that it could be made in quantities large enough to be commercially viable.
For now, the university is receiving supplies of the real thing from Australia’s Dingo Conservation Society, but he said how it is gathered is a tightly held secret. “At one stage we fashioned a little urine catcher to walk dingoes and collect it from, but that tended to be risky,” Parsons said.
What a bunch of teases.
