Cormorant Fishing

Bleiman Brothers Profile

In the wild, Andrew feeds on fish, sponges, small crustaceans, nematode worms and protozoans.

Benny's diet is very specialized, consisting mainly of the interior of Ramy nuts, nectar from the Traveller's Palm tree, some fungi and insect grubs. He is also known to raid coconut plantations, and has been seen eating lychees and mangoes, which are also plantation crops.

Parasites Turn Ants into Berries

Just when Andrew and I decided once and for all that ants couldn't get any more delicious looking, along comes a new parasitic roundworm and turns our whole world on its head. The newly discovered nematode enters the ants when they eat bird droppings and causes their abdomen to resemble ripe, tasty berries.
