Crocodile

So, funny thing I learned.
Crocodiles have these things called gastroliths. Maybe it sounds like a messy digestive problem (I don't want to imagine a crocodile with a messy digestive problem!) but it's actually just a rock an animal swallows to help digest their food.
HOLD UP!? Why do crocodiles need ROCKS to digest their food?! Have you seen their teeth? Here:

Now you've seen their teeth.

Those are not small friendly teeth. Those kill things.

BUT wait. They don't use their teeth to chew their food? They let rocks do it for them? What a waste of teeth!



animals are weird.
