Do you think a rabbit would like to eat that? Do you think a parrot could eat your ice cream?
Most animals would not like our food. They might eat it if they were hungry, but it is not always good for them.
Nature needs to make sure that different animals like different kinds of food, otherwise everyone would eat the same food and soon there would be none left.
Animals in the wild have to find their own food. Some animals eat grass and leaves, for example buck, elephant, zebra and giraffe. These animals live near each other and they eat the same food. Their food doesn't run out because they move about a lot. The food does not run out for another reason. Giraffes eat the leaves at the tops of trees, while buck eat leaves from the lower branches. The elephant uses his trunk to reach his food. It is also useful for picking fruit.

Birds have different shaped beaks. The different shapes are suited to the kind of food that they like to eat. Seedeaters have short pointed bills. Fruit-eaters, like parrots, have a bill like a hook to dig into the fruit. Birds of prey have sharp beaks. They are also like a hook and can bite the flesh of the animals they catch.
Even in the sea we see how the animals’ mouths are shaped to help them catch their food. The blue whale has an enormous mouth. He can open his mouth and filter his food through the baleen that hangs down in front of his mouth.
