I doubt that they use it as food but I do know that they use it as a fertilizer. I am saying bat guano (crap).


Wow you knew the fertilizer fact
I saw that fact on some TV show a long time ago.

That's awesome! Would love to hear more. Kenya sounds really fascinating.

The FP and I are taking a (much tamer) med cruise this year. That's one check off the bucket list.

It should be an awesome trip. One of our consulting teams working out of there apparently needs me to be there to help even though I said I could do it remotely. Heck I ain't turning down a trip to Africa twice

In the Italian Alps, the ibex goat was once hunted almost to extinction for its bezoar stone. The ibex's bezoar stone is the name of a concretion of undigested material found in its stomach that looks like a stone.

FACT or CRAP ?

I'm going with crap on the reason for hunting the ibex goat but I do think that it was probably hunted almost to extinction.

Feels like it could be a trick question, but I'll go along with it and say crap.
