now for this fact. Some babies don’t just eat food… they eat their mother’s skin. The Caecilian grows a thick, nutrient-rich outer layer on purpose. After hatching, the babies use special teeth to peel it off and eat it while she’s still alive. It sounds brutal, but it’s a designed feeding system. Even crazier? She regrows that skin every few days so they can feed again. In nature, survival gets seriously extreme.
