Please don't judge! Rock Hyraxes, and African rodent -like creature, eat their parent's poop to acquire essential bacteria. A scientific study showed that pigeons could be trained to tell whether a painting was by Monet or Picasso! In the 1920s, planes flying the first airmail service across the United States were directed by giant arrows on the ground- which can still be seen today!
