| 説明 | It is actually something one sees relatively often - especially in Etosha. Oryx and various other animals do the same.When I worked in the desert near Sossusvlei we would see that Oryx would choose bones usually from carcases that had been there for two or three years. I'm not sure if the same goes for Giraffe?I believe that the main mineral they are looking for is phosphorus (and not calcium as most people think).I'd love to hear the thoughts of an expert! |
