The 'culinary arts' of the animal world

Do not think in the animal world there will be no so-called 'culinary arts'. Animals not only simply put into their mouths, chew and swallow anything they get, but they also have quite sophisticated eating and dining culture techniques.

Big ants eat

With a rather specific long hose, it seemed that anteater just took a deep breath as it was full of ants, but its feeding wasn't that simple. First he had to find the ants and then use his claws to open the ants. From this moment it must act quickly if you don't want your foot meal to run away. The long cock of the anteater looks like a nose but it is actually a function of it, so there is no such thing as simply inhaling ants. He had to use a ' terrible ' tongue to 0.6m long and glue-like saliva to catch prey. Ants eat no teeth, they have hard appendages in the mouth that have a small role to crush what it puts into the mouth; Sometimes it also swallowed small stones to help it crush food in the stomach. If you get a big ant nest, ants can catch a few thousand ants in just a few minutes.

Ants cut leaves

Leaf-cutting ants are ant- eating ants that are very different from their other relatives. It can be said that they were the first animals to know how to grow their own food. Called leaf-cutting ants because they have the ability to use their sharp-edged jaws to cut large pieces of leaves from the tree. After that, they will bring these pieces back to the nest and pile them up. The worker ants in the nest are responsible for adding manure and saliva to the pile of leaves - this work is similar to composting - then from the pile of compost will begin to grow small mushrooms. This mushroom will be used to feed ant larvae; and adult ants will eat plastic leaves secreted during the cultivation.

Spider web nursery

The males of this spider know very well that ' the shortest path to the heart is through the stomach ', so they often use food as a gift to flirt with the spiders. Once he had an eye on some spider girl, he would catch a bad insect sticking to his network, using it to wrap it up beautifully and bring it to give to the ' neighbor '. While she was enjoying the delicious gift and ignoring it, he quickly ' acted ' and 'the rain ' with her. There are also times when food is scarce and he cannot find a meal to make a gift, so it is 'difficult to see wisdom ', it will use anything, even things that cannot be eaten like pebbles , pack it properly, and give it as usual. She was happy to accept the carefully wrapped gift, but it was best for the spider to 'hand out' quickly and then flee before she discovered the fraud and anger.

Egyptian vultures

This bird does not have hearing, so finding its food is completely based on sight. They often dig up trash to find discarded vegetables or fruits, sometimes they even eat dung. In addition to such leftovers, one of their favorite dishes is eggs. In fact, they are the only birds that eat eggs. Although there is no delicate taste, this bird has a very skillful egg-beating technique. Their favorite eggs are ostrich eggs, but ostrich eggs are very big, and they cannot be picked up; so they will suck one stone and throw it continuously into the egg until it breaks and enjoy the nutritious food inside.

Crocodile

The smile of crocodile is probably the most terrible and scary smile; maybe you don't want a crocodile to jerking huge jaws out to laugh at you. Talking about ' food culture' crocodiles are species with a rather ' crude ' eating habit. It will not take time to chew your meal but often swallow it. For meals that are too large, it has to crush the prey to make it easier to swallow. When eating hard-shelled animals, it will use its teeth to remove the shell and only enjoy the meat inside.

Red squirrel

Similar to their gray squirrel relatives, red squirrels also collect nuts and nuts during the summer and fall to reserve for winter. However, in a time when food is scarce, this squirrel has a trick to maintain his meal. They will use their teeth to cut holes in the trunk of the maple tree (maple) and then wait for the sap to be released to fill those holes. They will wait for the sap to dry and then go back and lick this sweet plastic. The maple resin provides them with the nutrients and energy they need to live through the winter, while other food sources are not enough.

Japanese monkey

In eating, this snow-white monkey is far more civilized than other monkey relatives. Their menu is varied, from plants, fruits to insects. However, the interesting thing is that they will not allow anything to be picked up in the mouth in an easy way that they know to wash food before eating. The researchers discovered this when they left some sweet potatoes on the beach for them, and surprisingly, a female monkey picked up a potato and brought it to the sea to wash it before eating; The other children in the herd did the same. Washing food in seawater not only cleans food but salt in seawater is like spices that enhance the flavor of food.

Birds cypress bar

Perhaps you will agree that the food on the skewers is convenient and easy to eat. This cypress bird also realized that, and it applied this when enjoying its meals. When a prey is caught, this clever bird will skew the prey on a sharp object it finds, possibly a spike on a tree branch, or even a thorn on a barbed wire fence. Thanks to the prey that holds the prey, it can tear and eat what it likes; if you eat it all, he will leave it and come back to eat next time. When catching poisonous insects, it will expose the animal on the skewers for a few days, waiting for the poison to evaporate before returning to enjoy its food.

Bury the food

This bug has a very special way of preparing meals - similar to the way we humans store food in boxes or fridges to keep food fresh and limit bacterial growth. When a dead bird or rat is found, it immediately uses an oral discharge to cover the animal; This fluid has both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, while slowing down the decomposition process. Then it will dig a hole to bury the body down. After finishing the storage of food, it will dig a cave for itself right next to the ' tomb' , and prepare to give birth. When the larvae hatch, they will easily eat the food their mother has prepared.

Honeybee

The rankings related to animals will be missing if not to mention honey bees. The dedication of this tiny insect to nature and to humans is truly immense. They are the only insects that produce food for humans. The way they create this nutritious delicious bile is also very successful; starting from finding nectar, bringing it back to the nest, then eating and eating this nectar many times until it separates most of the water from the nectar. While doing such hard work, it seems that they do not get anything from the fruits of their labor, it is we who are ' cool people eating gold bowls' , enjoying everything.
