Yesterday I mentioned looking into snail poop but as usual I sidetracked a bit and ended up looking into whale poop. I had read that whale poop floats and is part of the debris that washes to shore on most beaches,it is also an important part of the ecosystem in many ways and if that isn't enough to pique your interest in whale poop it can also be valuable. Under the right conditions sperm whale poop can turn into ambergris (an essential ingredient in the high end fragrance industry) aka liquid gold and sells for thousands of dollars an ounce. I still have no idea about snail poop but this seemed decidedly more interesting!
