His trick is constant grazing and rumination as an all-day effort (and keeping the brain conveniently underwhelming in terms of energy consumption and size), whereas an Inuit, a Maasai, the hunting Indians of the North, or indeed any human can wolf down a pound or two of fatty ruminant muscle within 15 minutes per day, then get on with the day, and remain in pristine condition for decades (not just 5 years or 10, silly!) --- barring accidents, wound sepsis etc.Micmac wrote:This is my friend he has been vegan his whole life
Here's the missing features that you and your descendants will please evolve soon:
Here's another fun tidbit, all ruminants (in fact most-all mammals) ---in the absence of famine and with ad-libitum access to their natural food (and excluding human pets acculturated to pet food from birth)--- derive the majority (well over 60%, in ruminants over 80%) of energy from fat. In all herbivores, this is aided by colonies of carbohydrate+protein-fermenting bacteria you'll never ever be able to fully cultivate in your comparatively small human intestines. (Although some vegans with a very well-formulated regimen come quite close and feel quite well for a little longer.) But humans aren't mammals, are they? They love to carb the feck up!Wikipedia wrote:Kangaroos have chambered stomachs similar to those of cattle and sheep. They regurgitate the vegetation they have eaten, chew it as cud, and then swallow it again for final digestion.
Because of its grazing, the kangaroo has developed specialised teeth. Its incisors are able to crop grass close to the ground, and its molars chop and grind the grass. Since the two sides of the lower jaw are not joined together, the lower incisors are farther apart, giving the kangaroo a wider bite. The silica in grass is abrasive, so kangaroo molars move forward as they are ground down, and eventually fall out, replaced by new teeth that grow in the back.
Absence of digestive methane release
Despite having herbivorous diets similar to ruminants such as cattle, which release large quantities of methane through exhaling and eructation (burping), kangaroos release virtually none.
