Beetles Living in Cow Dung Reduce Methane Emissions
Among the leading contributors to anthropogenic greenhouse gases responsible for global warming are cattle who, through natural digestive processes, release large quantities of methane into the atmosphere. And while much of it is released via burping and flatulence, a portion of this methane is emitted from cow pats, which, a new study shows, may be partly neutralized by beetles found living in these dung heaps.
