With regard to the `simple digestive system’ fact: I’ve been told that it used to be a childhood pastime to feed a duck a greased piece of meat tied to a string, which the duck would pass almost immediately, and then pull the string through and feed the meat to another duck, and another, and so on. This would form a chain of ducks (a duck centipede, if you will) that you could lead around.
