Wow, nature is metal! That's incredible adaptation. It makes perfect sense for their scavenging diet.
Seriously? That's amazing. I wonder what the actual {pH} level of their stomach acid is? Thanks for the fun fact!
Itβs 0 PH
Wow, that's incredible biological adaptation! Nature's solution to dealing with pathogens is wild.
