Yeah I ain't gotta say too much, but i'm the world's fastest snake
Jumpin on my prey just like a grenade
Yeah i got an organ that can sense my prey from a mile away
I be slaying these small game like its just another day
I be prayin on these small game's life just so they can live for another day
Yeah they be dyin everyday
Dyin everyday
Yeah my organs name is the jacobsons
Or you can call it the vomeronasals
Now I know it may sound boring but just give me a break
This is the only way I know where my prey lies as I eat them like a grape
Yeah they be dyin everyday
Dyin everyday
Now if you did not know
This is an adaptation in every way
To get a little more in depth you already know that I collect stimuli from the environment
Yeah I have a forked tongue which makes my prey feel embarrassment
and I collect air particles and transport them into my vomeronasal ducts
Yeah, the enzymes in my saliva digest it even before iss inna stomach, easy to devour
Most food is digested inna couple hour
Then back to my forked tongue cuz it is the most important thing with this whole digestion stuff
Yeah no matter what they be dyin everyday
Dyin everyday
But now onto how I slay these prey
To me it’s really just another normal day
After everything happens and my tongue is finally at rest
Is where the magic finally happens the one where no one can resest
My special organ detects these particles and will finally tell me where my potential prey is
Yeah they be dyin everyday
Dyin everyday
Really, with all these facts you could say that I’m the king of the jungle
But even though I know that I am the greatest, I still gotta stay humble.
My eyes are like fangs ready to crunch away
At anything that comes my way
Now I think that I’ve said enough to prove my greatness
And I apologize to the other contestants, please have my forgiveness.
There once live a Red Kangaroo named Joe
He ate green grasses which made him grow
He went up to his friends and said “bro,
Do you know I have 2 stomachs to help me digest my food slow?”
I don't drink water 4 long periods of times
So i use the moisture in my food for water supplies
I'm kind of nocturnal so I prefer to eat at night
Cuz during the day there's some dingos who want to fight
Joe has 2 stomach chambers which just make him cooler
He also has a gold chain which he got from the local jeweler
the sacciform, the tubiform are the names of the chambers,
Honestly he's just swaggy and all the other animals are haters
His 2 stomachs help him suck out every bit of moisture from his food
Why don’t you just drink some water, his friends asked, confused?
It’s because there's not much water flow in australia
Besides the water conditions I wouldn’t wanna move anywhere else in Kingdom Animalia
Joe only eats green grasses and herbage
Not to be rude but all the other animals are garbage
He also spits up food that's undigested
He then chews it again and then its ingested
The chewed up food goes into joe’s second stomach chamber
And from then on his stomach acids take over
The food is slowly split up into smaller pieces
Then the acids finish the digestive process and his hunger decreases
My name is sunda… slow loris im a primate and
im poisonous
searching for food at night
With dat night vision
I got that slow metabolism
devouring food
With my enhanced digestive system
I be swingin around
keepin that highground
You won't hear a sound
I'm not just gonna leave you with a wound.
You'll be on the ground once i'm done
searching for food at night
With dat night vision
I got that slow metabolism
devouring food
With my enhanced digestive system
If you ever see me at night
You better pray u aint my prey
I be launching from trees with a purpose
Now u getting nervous
searching for food at night
With dat night vision
I got that slow metabolism
devouring food
With my enhanced digestive system
The closer you get I raise my glands
Then hopefully you'll understand
Launching using my limbs
I be strikin with my poisinious fangs
One bite and your fate will be decided
Maybe next time your decisions will be more decisive
Coco’s Odyssey
Coco was a Thorny Devil livin’ in the Scrub
Throughout the day, he remained quiet and searched for grub
Walking at the pace of a snail
All he had to do was follow a trail
That led to the ants that he would feast upon.
He would sit & wait for the ants to run
And would use his long, sticky tongue
To lap up his prey
And then he would wait
For more ants to spill
And get his fill.
Coco’s special because he drinks
Water from his skin, cooler than a Sphinx
It flows down his grooves
And into his mouth, he barely moves
And that’s why he’s cool.

No Defeat
Over the water I tower.
I’ll stay here for hours.
Just waiting for prey to wander by,
don’t be careful and you’ll die.
Come in range and I’ll lunge.
Into the water I plunge.
Using my sharp beak, I’ll decapitate.
Don’t be sad, it was your fate.
True, it might not feel great,
but I’m not here to debate.
Don’t care how long I had to wait.
At least now I ate.
Got nothing else to do so I can’t be late.
And I don’t even care how much you hate.
For the rest of you, just take a seat.
Because me? I take no defeat.
The Termite’s March
Thump, thump, thump
Steadily we march
Through the tunnels
Let’s take it up a notch!
The sky opens up with a crack,
But not the kind that breaks
Your mom’s back.
For it is the sign of the end of our time
Our battle, the final one in this grime.
Through the hole in the sky,
a long pointed snout sniffs the air
Like there’s no tomorrow.
Well for us that is true,
I must announce with sorrow.
A narrow sticky tongue
slices any chances of survival.
Scooping us up
Like they’re homicidal.
The roof of their mouth,
Ridge after ridge;
It feels like we’re falling
into an abyss-like ditch.
I must bid farewell now
f
r
i
e
n
d,
But don’t feel glum.
The tongue is nearing me
And there’s 20,000 more of me to come.
Author’s note: This poem is from the numbat’s prey’s point of view (termites), just for clarification.
Hunting through the day and night
Killing its prey on sight
Stalking on lemurs and smaller mammals
Pouncing on birds and those are just a couple of examples.
Digging its claws into the skin.
Teeth are so sharp that they stab in.
High in the trees and fast on the ground.
A top predator and it is very renowned.
The Fossa is pretty quick in the trees
Its tail helps it go through them with ease
Looking for the fossa might be impossible
So quick in the trees it might just be unstoppable!
That is the fossa and how it gets food
Not voting for it might just be rude!
After concealing myself under the soil all day,
I crawl out of my hideout .
Moonlight glistens against my scaly skin.
Fresh night air hits me .
Hard.
I slither against the cold forest floor,
Seeking for my prey
I keep my target in sight .
My body is starting to creep up.
I strike.
I wrap and make loops,
Around my prey.
Increasingly growing tighter.
To reach my target;
The head.
My jaw unhinges
Swallowing the body whole
Backwards teeth sulk into it
Insuring my meal won’t
Get away.
Bruno the Bilby
Crawl out of my dusty burrow,
My eyes adjust to the dim light
a quick scan, very thorough
Foraging for food in the dead of night
A familiar scent whips through my snout
Revealing that something is waiting for me.
Navigate through the land, almost affected with drought
What could my treat possibly be?
A spider, insects, a bulb or two,
perhaps some seeds scattered along the familiar, dusty, floor.
All perfect for my omnivorous mouth to chew,
but not until I'm done with this rewarding chore.
I sniff around to classify my food,
turns out it's right under my long nose.
A delicious spider, so yummy I conclude.
Time to dig it out from where a plant usually grows.
My strong claws pierce the dirt,
dust flies about.
Rapidly digging to find my dessert,
as the spider is finally revealed near my snout.
I quickly gobble it up,
the taste erupts in my mouth.
But wait! Is that another treat I see? Yup!
Seeds thrown across the way, I start heading south.
Once beside my next food,
my usefully long tongue licks up the seeds.
Some dirt gets mixed in, but it's fine I conclude.
The dirt, like everything else, is easily digested by me, indeed.
The food will escape down my esophagus,
Into my stomach: an oval, super small,
Practically bottomless.
Now digested, it will sneak out as scat, in all.
My stomach full of delicious treats
I gallop back to my burrow to go to sleep.
Margays hunt in trees and leap on branches.
Obtaining food is light work for them
Because they feed on small rodents.
First Margay hide until the prey arrives and then
BOOM!
They catch the prey and their ambush is successful
If needed they’ll come down on the forest floor
To eat terrestrial prey.
They always have food no matter what and they’re not
That picky about eating.
Eating grass and fruits help them digest food.
Margays will eat small monkeys or other mammals too.
Their grip is very good because they leap a lot.
