lunch? Do you think a
rabbit would like to eat
that? Do you think a
parrot could eat your ice

Most animals would not
like our food. They
might eat it if they were
hungry, but it is not
always good for them.
Nature needs to make
sure that different
animals like different
kind of food, otherwise
everyone would eat the
same food and soon
there would be none left.
