"WHAT'S ON THE SPIT?"

"They will consume up to 60% of their feces"..... as in re-ingest? Or the waste will just hang out in the lower gut until 60% is absorbed?

Thats a great story Ron would have liked to seen that!  :D  Ive heard of rabbits eating their own feces but never a Porky. Learn something new everyday. We got them here but dont see them often ive never seen one myself. I hear their a Nusiance animal but personally I think their cool.

Mudd,  they are re-ingesting!   Kind of puting the "food"  through the process for a second time around  :eek:  !   Beavers and many other rodents do the same thing,  though I personally have never witness this myself.   Id bet you'd need to have 24 hr surveillance on a critter,  the right time of the year,  to see them doing this!  Hey,  its just one of those things I guess....nature is fascinating!  And Ron,  Ive also heard the Lobster referred to as "the cockroach of the sea",  but Im not about to stop eating those tasty buggers!

cockroaches on the grill done crispy brown with a bit of Sweet Baby Ray's BB sauce....bet they'd be Lip smackin good...    :p

 Sweet Baby Ray's or even some Cajun seasoning....maybe a little garlic butter....  

One of my buddies shot a porcupine whilemon a mule der hunt. He brought it back to camp and the threeof us were standing there looking at it whe  the third guy in our group says "Hey, lets eat it!". They skinnedmit out and cooked over an open fire and we ate it for lunch. Not the bestmeat I have ever eaten but I learned that if I was ever hungry in the woods and a porcupine happened by, I would have food!
