coprophagy

They are herbivores but have been seen to practice coprophagy.

The distressing condition of coprophagy, when the dog consumes its excrement, is just such a case.

It also engages in a practice called coprophagy, where an animal eats its own faeces a second time.

This practice is called coprophagy and is necessary for the hamster to obtain the proper nutrients from its food.

They exhibit coprophagy and eat soft fecal pellets to obtain maximum nutrients.

Evidence of coprophagy is sparse.

Coprophagy, the consumption of fecal material, is a common behaviour amongst rabbits and hares.

It is not pornographic in any way, but it does have a scene in which coprophagy is the comic point.

'I'd probably only develop a fetish for coprophagy.'

They expel soft, mucus-covered pellets that are then reingested (coprophagy).

Coprophagy is also practiced by some rodents, such as the capybara, guinea pig and related species.

A habit that marsh rabbits share in common with cottontail rabbits is the practice of reingestion, known as coprophagy.

As with other hares and rabbits, Jameson's red rock hare practices coprophagy in order to get the most nutrients out of its diet.

A few species shifted from coprophagy to necrophagy, and use small vertebrates carcasses as food for both adults and larvae.

Taboo acts such as incest, rape, coprophilia, coprophagy, bestiality, necrophilia and murder are common themes.

Like some other herbivores such as rabbits, they perform coprophagy (faecal reingestion) so as to extract more nutrition from their diet.

The scientists proved the link between coprophagy and carotenoid intake by feeding four Egyptian vultures at the Jerez zoo a dung-only diet for 10 days.

The habit of coprophagy in Egyptian Vultures gives them the Spanish names of "churretero" and "moñiguero", which mean "dung-eater".

The process of coprophagy is important to the stability of a rabbit's digestive health because it is one important way that which a rabbit receives vitamin B in a form that is useful to its digestive wellness.
