What can you do with piles of panda dung? Turn them into paper and sell it in the form of souvenirs. That’s exactly what a Thai zoo did. Pandas tend to excrete large amounts of bamboo pulp that they're unable to digest, none of which would normally be sold as a souvenir. But zookeepers in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai have taken a traditional method of making paper from mulberry trees, and used it to convert the poop into paper.
The zoo said they were then turning the dung-paper into items such as greetings cards, fans and bookmarks, selling around US $8,217 worth of goods last year.
