    Mammalian meat isn't digested well by fish. Mice are higher in fat too, so I feed my corn snake rats.

    I agree with you but I think there are one or two species that are a bit of an exception?

    Remember Arowanas, particularly silvers jump right out the water to catch frogs and birds on the trees? No?
    Watched a video where they do that

    It's a general feature in fish biology. And yes in nature It'll happen for sure! Fish just aren't great at digesting mammalian fats, which in turn are either excreted or build up in the liver which can shorten the lifespan.

    I will take solace in this fact if I am ever attacked by a shark and survive. If I dont survive someone can mention this at my funeral

    Maybe sharks work differently seeing how they take in stuff like seals frequently in some species. But for most tropicals it's best to avoid:)

    Yes.. guess you right....That was blonde

    There could be mice on the trees though..:)

    Jokes aside now, I was actually thinking of people that feed chicken meat as well hence the bird blonde moment
