‘Poo Zoo’ project aims to save endangered species with animal dung

Researchers in the United Kingdom are investigating the use of animal dung for endangered species conservation efforts. Through the "Poo Zoo" project, the team aims to extract living cells shed into feces, providing a non-invasive way to support breeding programs and preserve genetic diversity. If successful, the extracted cells could be cultured to create sperm and eggs, enabling advanced reproductive technologies like cloning and in-vitro fert…
