If ti is pricey and it not needed, it is a luxury. It is also worth noting that dishes from other parts of the world are often considered luxurious. For example dairy products were luxurious in many parts of the world for a quite while.

pretty much all creatures on the surface that have eyeballs have tears. it's used to lubricate the eye and keep it dry. only humans really use them to display emotions.
Dude, Hank, you forgot about one of the coolest adaptations snails have made to avoid the snail eating snakes! Snails with a left handed spiraled shell, are unable to be eaten by the snakes, as their jaw if generally lower on the right side (to help pry the snails out). Super cool!.

I'm not surprised that so many carnivores eat fruit, seeds, etc. Seeds are "designed" to be full of all the nutrients a growing plant needs to get to the point it can start gathering its own, coated in a shell that should (but often doesn't) make it unappealing for other things to eat it. Fruit adds another layer of sweet stuff meant to attract species that can scatter the seeds wherever they go after that. Unlike grass or leaves, fruit and seeds are literally balls of nutrients with some special bits in the middle.
many seeds or cores are actually toxic on the inside, however because of their hard shell they don't really get broken down often. Seeds/cores can help digest food in certain animals, but the real reward is usually the fruit
There are also animals that first gather all their food in one place and then redistribute it according to who has the highest rank, then they throw their own food all together again and heat it up to 'get more nutrients out of it'. These animals overeat so badly so often that in the long run it can cost them up to 20 years of their lives.
As a kid visiting my grandparents in Florida, my grandfather would take us to a bridge over a canal to throw in marshmallows to feed to the alligators. As an adult, I would not recommend having alligators associate children with food, but as kids, we thought it was really cool.
Veretasium recently made a video on Entropy. Among explaining the concept he also touches on the theory, that life is a natural process in an universe heading steadily towards maximal entropy. Life is better at creating entropy than anything else in the known universe. I personally quite like this idea, that life was bound to happen to satisfy the natural need for disorder. And the higher up the food chain one goes, the more energy the life converts, the more entropy it causes.
Here in south Louisiana i was feeding gators my trail mix. They Ate up the almonds and peanuts as well as raisins. They not just chiomped at it in the air but they looked for the nuts amd fruits that fell on the ground away from them. Was cool
Grey wolves also like fruits, since they can be temporary omnivores (can subsist on fruits for some days, but need meat to survive anyway). From what I've heard, there had been reports of wolved destroying watermelon plantations.
I grew up in the 60s ONLY knowing avocados as alligator pears. I didn't learn the word, "avocado" until I was in my twenties. Even the signs in the store, read, "Alligator Pears". I remember, as a child, asking my mother if I could have some, as I watched her cut one up as part of some dish that she was preparing. She told me that I probably wouldn't like it unprepared. I knew that I liked the taste of pears, so I was certain that I'd like the taste of alligator pears. She gave me a chunk, which I happily popped into my mouth. It decidedly did NOT taste like a pear!

Don't forget the vegetarian spider Bagheera. There are also predatory caterpillars from Hawaii, and the many animals with photosynthetic symbionts are also worth mentioning.
There's also a pitcher plant that has laxatives in the thickly coated sugary bait on the inside of the lid. Shrews and other small mammals go to it, perch on the lip of the pitcher, and lick off the sugar. Then end up pooping because of the laxatives. It's even shaped like a toilet lmao

It's so alien to me that somewhere there's a sock shaped plant with a tiny acid pool at the bottom and inside a rat with furry dragon wings, maybe potentially one that feeds on other mammal's blood, sleeping safe inside.....during the day...hanging from it's feet
There was a study done showing that snail species whose shells coil to the left instead of the right (most coil to the right) are far more likely to survive an attack by a molluscivorous snake.
Two more: The spider Bagheera eats nubs of the acacia tree. The toxorhynchite is a mosquito that does not drink blood. Instead, as larva, it eats the larvae of other mosquitoes.
I was thinking of this script at 9:28, ironically it wouldn't be true (ignore the fact that these animals can't peak). Tear-drinking moth: Can I eat your tears? Bird: (in tearful voice) Yes.
Now I know if I get attacked by a bonnethead, all what I have to do is to bring with me some pre-packed salad, so I can throw it to it and get out of water while the shark feasts on the veggies...
I don't think most animals even get the chance to drink another animals milk, as they wouldn't just sit there and let them do it. And it's more noticeable than a very thin tube being injected into the corner of the eye of a sleeping bird. There have been animals seen doing this though occasionally, from wild cats to birds getting milk from random animals udders.
Actually it's been regularly documented. Certain animals have no problem adopting babies of other species and nursing them. So no, not weird, not even slightly. scribol.com/environment/animals-environment/10-incredible-tales-of-interspecies-nursing/
Want to start off with i love the show, been binge watching and cant get enough all so interesting😊. Just have one critic the part with the indian grey mongoose the pic you show (sugar bush) is the not a protea flower, and if so is it not the grey mongoose from Africa that dads in it ?
How many takes did you require to say and infralabial gland? Seems like a fun term to add to a tongue twister, yet not a fun one to say while keeping a straight face.
My dad once noticed on of our goats is frozen still. When he went to investigate he found a desert monitor lizard wrapping its tail on the goats leg and suckling on the goats utter. Dad of course killed it and after few days after the utter healed it turned pale
Probably a mix of both, crocodiles get some nice nutritional bonuses from fruit, might enjoy the sweetness, and may be to aid digestion with the seeds, like their relatives the birds.
Molluscivorous means eating molluscs, which include squid and clams. That description fits a lot of animals, including sperm whales and us. How about narrowing it down to "gastropodophagous."? This is clearly better because it has more letters. Also it's a double dactyl.
They ever consider that the vegetation is a part of the animal’s balanced diet? I mean it makes sense that there’s some nutrients they can only get from plants. Also avocados are delicious. So next time I’m in Florida I’ll bring an extra tin of guacamole in case I meet any gators who want to have lunch with me instead of OF me. Ditto for the sharks, sea breeze salad can be a nice treat, and as the sushi guy at my school put it: “You eat this, you live 200 years” and well so it’s not bonnetheads, but sleeper sharks ARE the longest lived vertebrate.
