animals that eat their own placenta
(apparently, aquatic animals, camels, and humans are the only mammals that don’t typically eat their own placenta. I find it interesting that camels are the only non-human land mammals that don’t.)
This led to discovering a wiki page on Human Placentophagy and dried placenta being sold as Chinese medicine and placenta being cooked into meals and terms like “self-cannibalism”.
I am disturbed.
I was just looking for some kind of term for animals eating their own eggshells or placenta. I did not want to find anything about humans or see pictures of dried up placenta on Wiki.
Meet Makrius Mytus, the long nosed general whose nose is so long it rests directly above his upper lip. His name is sort of “long nose” in Greek (μακριά μύτη = makriá mýti, according to Google Translate). Idk if Google Translate is accurate, but I don’t need it to be. I just need some base for inspiration.
I’m currently looking into medieval battles in Germany and German knights. And also into WW1-era submarines.
Also while coming up with birthdates and death dates that work for my characters, I looked up the dates for the American Civil War and the Victorian era and accidentally discovered that two of my characters existed in the same time period and died within a year of each other, just in different parts of the world. Neat-o.
Okay, I prefer raccoons!
. For?
