Description Feces and uric-acid.jpg |
English:
Feces of a
lizard
. The white cast is a collection of
Uric acid
and the black material are the feces. Birds, Insects and
Saurian
reptiles excrete uric acid together with their feces in form of paste as this allows more efficient water retention.
Français :
Fiente de
lézard
. Le dépôt blanc est une boulette d'acide urique, la vraie fiente est derrière. Les oiseaux, les insectes et les reptiles sauriens sont capables d'excréter de l'acide urique en même temps que leurs fèces sous le forme d'une pâte, ce qui leur permet de retenir l'eau de façon plus efficace.
