Weid Animal Life Video: The “Yummy Mummy”

A BBC crew has filmed a worm-like amphibian, called a Caecilian, allowing her young to peel off her skin and eat it!
According Wikipedia, “…feeds its young by developing a special outer layer of skin, high in fat and other nutrients, which the young peel off with similar teeth thereby allowing them to grow by up to ten times their own weight in a week.”
