What we call a gizzard is the muscular part of a bird’s stomach. When a bird swallows food, it goes from the throat to the esophagus. Some species have an expanded, thin-walled offshoot or pouch in the esophagus called the crop where they can store food before it’s sent the rest of the way through the esophagus to the stomach. (Pigeons and dove adults produce a food for their young called crop milk in the crop.) Birds all have two parts to their stomach. The first is called the proventriculus or glandular stomach, where digestive enzymes are secreted to begin the process of digestion. This part of the stomach is very much like our stomach. The second part of a bird’s stomach (a part we humans don’t have) is the gizzard or muscular stomach. The gizzard is very thick and muscular in some species, such as ducks, gallinaceous birds (those related to chickens such as grouse, quail, and turkeys), emus, and doves. Most of these birds eat hard items such as seeds and nuts. Birds with thick giz...

Senses Of Dog. Sight Taste And Smell Hearing Touch Sight Dogs Don’t See Red Or Green: Their World Is Yellow, Blue, And Gray. Their Sight Isn’t As Good As Ours In Full Light, But It’s Sharper In Dim Light , Which Is Especially Useful When Hunting For Food At Dawn Or Dusk. The Dog's Eye Has A Reflecting Layer, Called The Tapetum Lucidum , Which Intensifies Available Light, Giving The Dog An Advantage During Dusk Or Dawn, The Prime Time For Hunting. Because Dogs Have Two Eyes, They Have Binocular Vision . Most Dogs Have A Total Visual Field Of 250 Degrees . The Degree Of Binocular Overlap Is About 75 Degrees For Long-Nosed Dogs To 85 Degrees For Short Nosed Breeds. Taste And Smell Dogs Have Fewer Taste Buds Than Humans. For Them, Smell Is More Important Than Taste—They Use It To Track Prey, Find Their Way, And Locate Other Creatures. A Dog’s Sense Of Smell Is Much Better Than Ours .  Hearing Dogs Can Move Each Ear Separately To Pick Up Signals From Several Directions. Their Hearing...

Dogs Get Stuck During Mating Because Of A Process Called A Copulatory Tie . It Is Also One Of The Main Stages In The Process Of Intercourse. The Male Dog Has An Organ Called The Bulbus Glandis And Contraction Of Vaginal Muscles Of Female Which Are Responsible For Keeping Him Tied Up With Each Other. The Dog Breeding Tie Basically Keeps The Semen Secured Inside The Female Dog. The Tie Is Extremely Common But As Opposed To Common Misconceptions, Not A Strict Requirement For Pregnancy As Such. The Approximate Time For Which The Dogs Can Be Stuck From Butt To Butt Varies Between 5 Minutes To 15 Minutes . However, Depending On Several Factors, The Copulatory Tie Can Take As Long As Half An Hour. Dogs Should Never Ever Be Interrupted When They Are In The Mating Position. Ideally And In Most Cases, The Copulatory Tie Won’t Last For More Than 20 Minutes. It Mainly Depends On How Long The Male Dog Will Take To Ejaculate His Sperm Into The Female Dog. They Will Stay Stuck Till The Bulbus Glan...

Camels Are Mammals With Long Legs, A Big-Lipped Snout And A Humped Back. There Are Two Types Of Camels: Dromedary Camels, Which Have One Hump, And Bactrian Camels, Which Have Two Humps. Camels' Humps Consist Of Stored Fat, Which They Can Metabolize When Food And Water Is Scarce.  Camels’ Humps Are Not Used To Store Water. Even Though They Come From Hot Climates, Their Humps Store Fat And Also Help The Rest Of Their Bodies To Stay Cooler. When Needed, The Fat Will Be Converted To Food Or Water. The Word ‘Camel’ Comes From An Arabic Word, When It’s Literally Translated, It Means Beauty. Don’t Ever Try And Say That Camels Are Ugly! They Need To Stay Hydrated In The Desert, So It’s No Surprise That Camels Can Drink As Much As 40 Gallons Of Water At Once. Considering It’s Not Being Stored In Their Humps, That’s Pretty Amazing. During The Second World War, German Tank Drivers Would Drive Their Vehicles Over Camel Droppings, Thinking It Would Bring Them Good Luck. Arabian Camels Are The O...
