Crocodiles get along well with toothpicks. Why do cold-blooded animals like crocodiles like it better? Do you know why?

Egyptian plover-commonly known as toothpick bird, is widely known for its famous hobby-like to use crocodiles as automatic toothpicks.

It is said that Egyptian Thousand Birds is a vicious character who really dares to "pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth" and snatch food from the crocodile's mouth. It jumped around in the crocodile's mouth and poked everywhere, but the crocodile just wouldn't eat it. What's so great about this toothpick bird? Is it necessary to stage "Love between Fish and Birds"?

At this time, the seemingly scientific statement came: Ah, crocodiles are related to toothpicks. The toothpick bird will eat the food residue in the crocodile's mouth, and the crocodile will protect the toothpick bird accordingly. Yes, it looks scientific, but in fact ... it's fake! It's all fake! Without toothpick birds, there is no truth in the world, it is all an illusion!

In fact, the story of crocodile and toothpick bird originated from the ancient Greek writer Herodotus. He mentioned in his travel notes that he once saw a Nile crocodile with its big mouth open and asked a bird to help him pick his teeth.

In fact, this story is as true as the famous impala flight. Why? Not to mention that crocodile's teeth, like shark's teeth, can be replaced at any time. Crocodiles will change their teeth in the same position 50 times in their lifetime. Just look at the picture. Crocodile teeth are like this. Will they be blocked? And more importantly, except Herodotus, no one has ever seen a toothpick bird eat in the mouth of a crocodile.

Yes, no one has seen pictures of toothpick birds and crocodiles. If you don't believe me, search. This picture has never been filmed in a documentary. There are no photographers or tourists to take such photos on the African continent. The three or two fuzzy pictures you can find are all PS!

As the most ferocious predator on the African continent, the Nile crocodile's diet ranges from large buffalo and zebra to small birds and insects. Do you think it will let go of the meat sent to its mouth?
