Animals And Their Urine
April 25th, 2007
- Estrogen extracted from pregnant mares’ urine is used to make premarin, a hormone replacement drug for menopausal women.
- Some animals protect themselves from a specific predator by smearing their bodies with the urine or faeces of that predator. According to William Agosta’s book “Bombardier Beetles and Fever Trees: a close-up look at chemical warfare and signals in plants and animals”, Siberian chipmunks will smear themselves with snake urine or faeces whenever they can because snakes were less likely to attack them.
- Fox and wolf urine can be used to keep rabbits, rodents, deers and cats away from the lawn or garden.
