This is an educational lesson you will never forget. Or, at least I have not forgotten, while doing my research. Our digestive system is very complex, especially the end result. Many people wonder: 1) why do they fart?; 2) why do they have diarrhea?; 3) how often should they do bowel movements before the profess that they have constipation? Here are the top 10 odd facts about feces that you will definitely not forget until the day you die.
10. The feces produced by elephants is very fibrous…that in many parts of the world, people make paper out of it. Their digestive system isn’t that efficient, so more than half of the grass and leaves they eat comes straight out of their behinds.
9. If blue whales eat shrimps or prawns, their poo will be pink! They’re feces is some of the biggest on the planet; up to several meters long and 25cm wide.
8. The world’s longest recorded human poop was 26 feet. Now, if you’ll excuse me, while I take a very long shower. I just lost my appetite.
7. The average person poops 2 lbs. a day. Well, that excludes the ladies and the priests. Just kidding.
6. The world’s most expensive tealeaves are fertilized with panda poop, which, due to the herbivore’s healthy diet, is rich in vitamins and minerals. Currently, a cup of the tea sells for $200 and the price is continuously going up as pandas come closer to extinction.
