Too Selective An Appetite
Is Dangerous for Survival
There are of course other
reasons, but one very impor
tant one that accounts tor the
world's exploding human popu
lation is the fact the human
animal is omnivorous, and will
eat anything and everything,
flesh or vegetable, while those
poor unfortunates that are mon
ophagous, have become so spe
cialized in their food require
ments they will starve to death
because of one specific food.
In this living world there are
at least two that are truly omni
vorous man and rat. Rats
will probably outlive all other
four-foots on this earth, except
some of the domestic animals,
the reason being their wide and
lengthy range of food. Both will,
can, and do, eat anything, vege
table or animal, that grows,
swims, flics, crawls, runs, or
walks.
Those animal species that have
survived are those whose food
preferences are adjustable. Too
much specialization can be dis
astrous. Very definitely nature
made a mistake when she cre
ated creatures that must depend
on special foods; a few are so '
restricted they can subsist only -on
one or two kinds.
The vegetarians of course will
not eat meat; neither will the
true carnivores eat vegetable
matter, but even these two
classes of animals are painfully
selective. A carnivore will eat
anything of flesh, or the vegeta
ble eater will eat any sort of
vegetation. The bear, a carni
vore, will eat berries; a dog will
eat certain plant materials.
Anti-Survival
This somewhat limited special
ization is not so potentially dan
gerous as that which restricts
an animal's food to a specific
item. There are several of these,
and all are constantly on the
anti-survival list. Always they
are balanced on the knife-edge.
One of the lowly ones is the
silkworm who cannot be fooled
into eating anything except the
leaves of the mulberry tree. A
shortage of that particular tree !
equals a resultant shortw;e of
silkworms. Even more pathetic
is the plight of the cunning little ;
Koala beat of Australia. It is
one of the marsupials, related
to our opossum, which will eat
nnlv the leaves of the eucalyptus
tree. Without that one specific
kind of food the little things
wither away and die. Already
their range is restricted, almost
as much as their diet require
ments, as many areas.'of the
trees are being destroyed.
Final Doom
The destruction by accident,
design or disease, of large areas
of common eel grass in tidal
flats or ponds, will spell final
doom to brants, a duck - like
form of wild geese, for without
eel grass on which to feed the
birds' numbers decline.
The only survival insurance
these animals have, whose diet
specialization demands a speci
fic food, is the . continuance of
that one food. The necessity, de
sire, or ability to eat anything
and everything, will assure-the
continuation of that particular
species. Those with too selective
an appetite can look ahead to
pretty hard times; they are uad
fy out of balance on the biologi
cal teeter-totter.
