Molecular studies of phylogeny indicate that hutias nest within the Neotropical spiny rats . [5] Indeed, the hutia subfamily, Capromyinae, is the sister group to Owl's spiny rat Carterodon . [ 6 ] In turn, this clade shares phylogenetic affinities with a subfamily of spiny rats, the Euryzygomatomyinae .
The act of eating cecotropes is referred to as cecotrophy, which is distinct from coprophagy which is the eating of feces proper. [5] [4] [6] Similarly, cecotropes are not fecal material, so terms such as "soft feces" and "night feces" are technically incorrect. Though cecotropes are sometimes called "night feces," they are produced throughout ...

Naked mole-rats feed primarily on very large tubers (weighing as much as a thousand times the body weight of a typical mole-rat) that they find deep underground through their mining operations. A single tuber can provide a colony with a long-term source of food—lasting for months, or even years, [ 57 ] as they eat the inside but leave the ...

Some may specialize in feces, while others may eat other foods. Feces serve not only as a basic food, but also as a supplement to the usual diet of some animals. This process is known as coprophagia , and occurs in various animal species such as young elephants eating the feces of their mothers to gain essential gut flora , or by other animals ...
