Bizarre diets

Our blue planet boasts wild animals who are eminent for their unique talents. One of these is the ability to consume bizarre stuff which is shockingly their diet (or even its part). Sounds quite surprising. 

Hapalemur aureus 001As it is known that cyanide is lethal to us. But, not for bamboo lemurs. Their diet is a variety of  Madagascan bamboo which boasts the substance. But, it is a mystery to scientists as how they detoxify it. It seems they are very crafty to do it.

Coming to reptiles, crocodiles boast so many weird characteristics. One comes even in case of consuming. These scaly critters have the ability to consume stones. Yes, strangely it aids them in digestion and a great reason for plunging deep. Thus, when they do it they are doing it naturally and are not high.



Portuguese Man-O-War (Physalia physalis)Continuing with reptiles, sea turtles don't need to worry about one of their diets i.e. jellyfishes. These shelled creatures are immune to the stings of box jellyfish and yes even Portuguese man o' war (in pic) which is one of the longest jellyfishes. Truly shock proof animals.

Thus, this post indeed proves that some animals are capable of gobbling bizarre things which is crucial for their survival.
