- gitaarik 3y agoTrial and error? I think most animals have an instinct of what they should eat when. I think humans have that too, but kind of forgot about it, or at least we are out of touch with these things and mostly judge intellectually.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoFor many animals that instinct is to chew something and either swallow or spit it out. See a tiger shark. They basically probe the entire environment through constant trial and error. Bite it all should a small portion bleed, they have concluded.
