Crocodiles are a large, very fierce character of the animals, they can eat a lot of animals. Whether terrestrial or aquatic animals, they may become food in the crocodile's mouth. However, there is one animal crocodiles will not eat, it is the toothpick bird. Researchers have done a special study on this phenomenon and found that crocodiles and toothpick birds are mutually beneficial, and their harmonious coexistence is beneficial to both sides.
As mentioned above, crocodiles don't eat toothpicks, because they can live in harmony and symbiosis. Crocodiles often eat very large animals, when they may have some residue on their teeth and in their teeth, these animals will make crocodiles very uncomfortable, but crocodiles can not get them off. At this point, the toothpick birds can play a role, with their very sharp mouth to peck down the remnants of the crocodile teeth, so that the crocodile will not be so uncomfortable, it can be said that the toothpick birds are the crocodile's dental doctor. At this time, the toothpick bird also gets its own food, which is a way to make the best of both worlds. When the toothpick bird flies near the crocodile's mouth, the crocodile will open its mouth actively and let the toothpick bird enter its mouth.
In fact, in addition to the above reasons, crocodiles do not eat toothpick birds is also relatively easy to understand, because toothpick birds are too small, crocodiles are not interested in this animal, they have a lot of animals to eat. Moreover, when the toothpick bird flies to the crocodile to "pick its teeth", it is usually after the crocodile has just eaten, it is in a lazy state, and at this time the crocodile is not interested in eating the toothpick bird.
