5 Animals That Eat Strange And Sometimes Very Disgusting Things

One of the best things about the natural world is that nothing goes to waste.
There are animals that feed on carcasses, detritus, and even dung and this helps to keep the ecosystem in balance.
Because very few things go to waste you'll find many animals that feed on strange and even slightly disgusting things but this is completely natural.
At first it may seem as though the animals are revolting for eating what they do but really this behavior helps to stop the spread of diseases and it helps to recycle otherwise wasted nutrients.
