Railway abandons lion dung
A railway in Japan that used lion dung to deter deer from straying on to the tracks has found the experiment too repellent. Trains hit around 10 deer a month along a track in western Wakayama before the West Japan Railway Co spread lion dung along the line.
Not one deer has been run over since, but Toshihiko Iwata, a spokesman for the line, said: "The track really did stink." Since hunters believe deer dislike white, the railway is now testing sheets of shiny styrofoam.
