Bizarre Diets of Some Animals

WRITTEN BY: Nouran Amin

Some animals have bizarre diets that are not usually thought of. For example, some species of crocodiles eat a huge range of fruit, nuts, seeds and other plants. There have also been sightings of by locals witnessing crocodiles plucking Kumqauts right off a tree. Additionally, there’s been also rumors of alligators being fond of avocados in Mexico that there was once a push to name them ‘alligator pears’.

More bizarre diets by animals include seagrass-eating Bonnethead sharks, snakes that enjoy slurping snails, mongooses that sip nectar, caterpillars that feed on shell crunches of tortoises, and moths that drink the tears of birds.
