Are there animals that should not eat or drink?

Answer

Dear Robin,

There are creatures that do not feed. These are the viruses. That is why biologists argue about whether these are living creatures.

With the real animals, it is always the case that they must feed to survive. Although it is the case with the mayfly and crane fly that they do not eat as an adult. However, these animals have stuffed themselves as larvae. Also among the reptiles there are animals that eat very little, but they do eat! So everyone eats.

Drinking is something else. Every animal needs moisture, but if you can get this from your food then it is not necessary to drink.

Pet friendly regards
