Very interesting posts. Thank you. Just a little minutae. It is the ruminant type of mammals (e.g. cattle, sheep, goats, deer, and giraffes, characteristically having a stomach divided into four compartments and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food) that are the mammalian methane producers. Not that my wife would necessarily agree....
A sheep can produce about 30 litres of methane each day and a dairy cow up to about 200.
