Australian scientists have found that kangaroos have a special bacterium in their stomachs that doesn’t contain methane. They are trying to identify this bacterium and then develop a way to itransfer it to other animals, such as cattle, pigs, and sheep, which emit large quantities of the harmful greenhouse gas.
