Seeing as this is a farm blog of sorts, I couldn't pass up sharing this piece of news:
Kangaroos have always been a smug bunch, bouncing along as if they roo-le the animal kingdom - they will roo their mistake one day, I can tell you.
Absolutely abysmal puns aside, they now have something else to be really pleased about.
According to scientists, their farts are fighting global warming.
Thanks to a special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroos do not emit harmful methane gas when they let off a stinker.
Australian scientists are now planning to transfer that bacteria into cows and sheep to make their flatulence eco-friendly.
It will take researchers about three years to isolate the bacteria before they can think of a way to transfer it to other animals.
