have also sets of teeth IN their stomachs,
where they complete the work Of chew
ing. But their is one peculiar kind OF
crab, called the king or horseshoe crab,
which chews its food with its legs. This
is in actual fact, the little animal gring-
iny it's morsels between its thighs
before it passes them over to It's mouth.
The jelly fish absorbs its food by
wrapping itself around the object which
it seeks to make its own. The starlish
is even more accommodating. Fasten-'
ing itself to the body it wishes to feed
on, it turns its stomach inside out and
enwraps It's prey with this useful organ.
Dogs seize their food with their jaws.
cats with their feet, and so do monkeys,
some of them pressing their prehensiIe
tails into service. The squirrel uses its
paws to carry its food to it's mouth the

and toad their tongues.
Spiders chew their food with horny
laws, which are sharp enough to give
quite nip.

Toaus, tortoises, turtles, and most

in their upper Jaw only. Anteatcrs,
sloths, an | armaJilos have no teeth.
The lion and the tiger, and, indeed,
most of the carnivorA, do not grind
their food, using their Jaws only up and
down, the lnolars acting like chopplng

in fact, are a vcritablc hash mill.
