Apparently gorillas too. Someone should tell Joe Roegan.
Feces is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

That’s basically what rabbits do. From Wikipedia:
Easily digestible food is processed in the gastrointestinal tract and expelled as regular feces. To get nutrients out of hard to digest fiber, rabbits ferment fiber in the cecum (part of the gastrointestinal tract) and then expel the contents as cecotropes, which are reingested (cecotrophy or refection). The cecotropes are then absorbed in the small intestine to use the nutrients. Soft cecotropes are usually consumed during periods of rest in underground burrows.

Man Bun™ was created when a regular rabbit ate a radioactive turd. Now he can anthropomorphize at will, leap tall buildings in a single sproing, be super jacked, and destroy his enemies with Mach-5 poops.

“Man Bun”, even the name is promising~!
can he be jacked and fluffy at the same time?

Cecotropes because they have an inefficient digeative system. It’s basically the rodent equivalent of a cow chewing cud.

It’s very efficient. Stuff just needs to go through twice. Saves a lot of space.

Think about it this way: they’ve evolved a clever behavioural hack that doubles the length of their entire digestive tract without any increase in weight. This is extremely efficient!
Geodad@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Having to eat your food twice doesn’t sound very efficient to me.

It’s called the double digestion diet, and it can halve your food bills!
