5 turn on the irony about the

Bears bear children eat their mother's stool, vultures "poop" on the legs to cool, . and there are countless other unexpected information.

The animal world always attracts people in any way. Zoologists have long been passionate about how the animals live, how to feed, how to breed, etc.

In it, even the not-so-clean story is how they " deal with sadness " is also thoroughly investigated by the great brains of humanity.

After a long process of secrecy and secretive follow-up like ninjas, they finally gathered a list of the most hegemonic "walking" strategies of animals that we would like to introduce below.

1. Penguins "poop" melt the Antarctic ice

In the spring of Antarctica every year, Gentoo penguins are clustered - up to thousands. The gathering place is at the ice coast, and the goal is to start the breeding process.

However, their nests could only be built with pebbles and forced to be built in areas without snow and ice. Therefore, this bird applies a special tactic to be able to build a nest at any time: go to the toilet!

Experts say the dark brown color of bird droppings are better at absorbing heat than white bandages around them. And when it absorbs enough heat, the giant manure of the bird makes ice in the nesting area quickly melt

Where to go "ice" melted there!

Such feces in Antarctica are so big that they can be seen from outer space satellites.

However, Gentoo penguin is also a relatively knowledgeable species. They do not want to be submerged in their own feces, should develop the ability to "shoot " away to keep the nest clean. But if another penguin or some unlucky cameraman accidentally blocked the trajectory of the bullet, he would get it!

Carefully "bullet" lost!

2. The hippopotamus owns a machine . blowing manure

Hippopotamus is considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. Do not rush to look at their ludicrous looks but look down, 3,000 people die each year because of this animal attack is much higher than the number of 10 people / year of sharks.

But hippos are not only dangerous at assassination, but they can also cause you to suffer from a rain of manure if standing behind them.

The reason for this "impolite" action is because the hippopotamus uses the stool as a territorial markup . When defecation, male hippopotamus waved over the tiny tail to scoop the stool around, aiming to inform the other hippos that "I am the boss here".

And hippopotamus, they are also used to decompose but with other purposes more important: seduce the hippopotamus in mating season.

It is possible that this action is horrible, but male hippopotamus believe that this is a very . romantic thing.

3. Koala Bear - the first food is the feces

Koala bears living in Australia possess a lovely look that is hard to resist. But if you know what they ate, their cuteness may need to be reviewed.

Adult Koala diets consist of eucalyptus leaves, which contain a lot of fiber and also toxins. Of course, big bears are no problem, but small bears are hard to digest.

Therefore, after having just weaned, young Koala cannot eat eucalyptus directly, but indirectly through his mother's feces.

Eating the stool helps the Koala absorb the nutrients of the digested leaf without toxins and at the same time receive the beneficial microorganisms in the mother's Koala intestine - which will later help the baby Koala digest himself Eucalyptus leaves .

This can be seen as a 1-0-2 way that the mother Koala prepares for her child's independent life.

4. Vultures have air conditioning made from . stool

Vultures are birds that often live in areas with hot tropical climates year-round, so one of the important problems with them is cooling the body.

However, the vulture body was covered with feathers and there was no sweat-like gland, so how did they cool off?

One of the ways this bird applies is panting. This way will help saliva evaporate, bring heat but the effect is not very high.

So, vultures often choose a more optimal method: "poop" on their feet .

Legs are the places where direct contact with the land should be the hottest. At the same time, this is a hairless part, so the water in the waste mixture that attaches to your feet will quickly evaporate to remove large amounts of heat.

In addition, there is uric acid in the waste, when dry, it forms a white crust covering the vulture legs, which reflects the extremely good sunlight.

5. Sloth - every time "going" is a risk

The sloth, true to its name - is the slowest animal on Earth , slower than the slug.

Because they were too lazy to move, their only safeguard was camouflage, in an almost immobile way with a layer of blue algae covering the coat making them seem to blend perfectly into the rainforest environment.

But there is a habit of the slowest species in the world that causes biologists to think, that once a week, lazy people have to hang on the ground to dig a hole and discharge it into it. The process takes a long time because of the amount of feces accumulated can account for up to 1/3 of body weight.

During this time, laziness is extremely vulnerable, and the fact that more than half of the sloths die is due to predators while " resolving sadness ".

But why lazy does not continue on the tree and so on . the bridge falls down? Isn't that much safer?
A study conducted in 2014 answered this question. Experts at the University of Wisconsin (USA) have said that they are lazy to take risks to ensure symbiosis of some moths on their bodies.

Symbiotic moths on the body are lazy

Butterflies like Cryptoses choloepi, Bradyphila garbei, . almost spend their lives in the fur of sloth. They act as gardeners, providing nutrients so that algae grow better, creating a camouflage coat and also a supplement for lazy leaves.

It is possible that moth larvae can only live on their faeces, so the purpose of being lazy to climb down to the ground is to help moths get the quickest access to fresh manure to lay eggs. After adult butterfly larvae fly up, nest in lazy fur, complete a symbiotic cycle.
