    Interesting! But how do we know the crocs eat the fruit specifically as mineral or fibre supplement and not just for sustenance or for the fun of death rolling a pumpkin?

    And how do the crocs know which fruit to eat? I guess for them to eat anything with the intention of being provided with minerals or fibre they need to know their fruits? And how do the scientists know about this?

    I have so many questions.

    Hehe, the cat we had when I grew up was completely and utterly obsessed with home made apple pie, she knew that she wasn’t supposed to get up on tables, and even fish or meat was something she could resist, but not home made apple pie.

      Cats fucking adore butter. They don’t care for sugar or wheat, but they’ll go buck wild for butter. Sounds like you made proper pie!

        Mt cat’s nickname is “Butter Boy”. His only other vice is roasted chicken.

    Fuck dude. I have worse eating habits than an overgrown lizard.

      Funny thing about crocodilians, they look a bit lizardy, but theyre closer to birds than they are to lizards

      source
      • Zagam@piefed.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yeah, in think I remember them not being lizards but something close, right?

        The other part of my comment is still true though.
