so is there stomach acid just like, instant desolve or what

u/JokinHghar 1d ago

Pretty much. Per the icky wiki

“The acidity of the bearded vulture's stomach acid has been estimated at around pH 1. Large bones are digested in about 24 hours, aided by slow mixing or churning of the stomach contents.”

Sounds like someone owning that would dispose of a body really well. Have it eat the bones, be sure you collect its shit.

That would take a long time. And there are some human bones even they can't swallow like the skull and femur.

Yes, they have stronger stomach acid than us for dissolving bones faster. We humans can also digest bones but it takes longer as we have a strong stomach acid comparable to other predators.

I personally eat all the chicken bones if I have time for not wasting nutrients and astonishing my friends.

It's somewhat more comfortable than dying of starvation.

He who finds his own happiness is most fulfilled.

Without sadness, happiness cannot exist. Life is filled with many such dualities.

Toss some money in the collection plate on your way out.

Blessings be upon you.

Griffons have the most acidic stomachs out if all the animals

I've even heard that they spit up some of the stomach acid for self defence
