Desert Tortoises will travel miles to mine the calcium needed to keep their shells strong. Monkeys, bears, coatis, and other animals rub citrus oils and pungent resins into their coats as insecticides and antiseptics to prevent infected insect bites. Chimpanzees swallow hairy leaves folded in a certain way to purge their digestive tracts of parasites. Birds line their nests with medicinal leaves to protect their chicks from blood-sucking mites and lice and human beings… although some are choosing to eat more raw healthy food. it’s evident how many still could take much better care – especially when you see lines of people outside fast food joints – hmmm… we all could learn a lot from our wise animals and take care of ourselves
