Researchers ecstatic about shark fecology
The latest BBC Natural World TV report, on the whale shark, interviews a guy who calls the excretions "scientific gold" and is "so excited" about it because they finally get to see what whale sharks eat. Perhaps the sharks are just modest, but they usually repair to the deep floor to do their duty, and thus science hasn't been able to grab samples to analyze. "It has been really exciting," said Dr. Meekan, of the Australian Institute of Marine Science. BBC News

Shark poop? Are you serious? That's fucking awesome! Do you have any idea the ramifications this will have on everything as we know it? I can't wait to tell my wife about this tonight! Oh man, I'm gonna be giddy all day now.

shark shit and this is the first time they have gotten a sample for study, maybe they'll find the cure for cancer. or some ecologist will decide we need to spend billions to "clean up" the ocean floor for posterity.
