      The pee warding off predators is literally about testosterone, it carries through in the piss and scares off certain predators supposedly, female pee isn’t supposed to work. It’s not my fact I’ve multiple sources telling me that, from Bear Gryllis on the discovery channel, to elsewhere. So I don’t know the accuracy but it is not disputed anywhere I’ve seen yet but accepted and verified.

        Not sure about predators, but I believe that the reason it works with herbivorous mammals like deer is because they can smell a human scent and don’t stop to snack there since they think there might be a human nearby.
