"Those goats are back, honey -- get the tiger poop"

CANBERRA (Reuters) - A tiger's roar might be scary, but Australian researchers have found that the predator's poo is just as potent.

Researchers at the University of Queensland said Friday they had successfully tested a tiger poo repellant, warding off wild goats for at least three days.

"Goats wouldn't have seen a tiger from an evolutionary point of view for at least 15 generations but they recognize the smell of the predator," repellent creator Peter Murray said in a statement.

"If we can show this lasts weeks ... we've just tapped into probably a billion-dollar market. It's enormous," he said.

1. It's like using panther piss to ward off skunks!!!

Or coyote, fox, or other predators!

So naturally some enterprising sole decided to package up predator urine and offer it for sale. Coyote urine will run off deer and raccoon, but to chase off the rabbits you’ll need some fox urine. These handy products are available from J&C Marketing Inc./Legup Enterprises of Hampden, Maine. You can give them a call at 1-800-218-1749. They also sell wolf urine as well as bobcat urine....

3. This is dangerous!

Sure, it'll keep you free of wild goats (always a big problem for the keen gardener), but do you really want to deal with visits from horny tigers?

8. True, but, still,...

It might attract horny Exxon workers looking to put a tiger in someone's tank. And, really, which is worse?
