It's kind of a larval stage that, you know, was put into kind of a hot fryer and given to me to eat. And I ate it out of respect to the people.
And in all fairness, it was not as awful as I thought it was going to be. I really thought it was just going to be a repulsive flavor.

And the grub, especially the big larva, the big maggot, was actually, there was a little bit of almost sweetness to it that wasn't bad. It's the palatability of it, though. And the fact is, when I ate it, it was kind of still alive, so it was moving when it went in your mouth.

The key thing is, you've got to bite it and eat it right away. Yeah.

The deep frying was for the big beetle. That was deep frying. They deep fried it until it almost popped like a kernel of popcorn. The maggot was not fried. It was alive. It was like right out of a husk of a tree. The incredible senses of animals. I'm talking about the sense of smell, okay? Right now, polar bear. Sense of smell is unflipping believable.

A polar bear can smell a seal five miles away. Five miles away. Now, you all look... I see you shaking your head. Oh, no, I'm well. All that stuff Tony was saying. All that stuff. Yeah, I got it. Okay, but I'm telling you, they can do it. Okay? Okay, they can do it. If you look at the nasal bones, the terminate bones in the nose of a polar bear, it looks like this... Tiny little holes everywhere.

There's all these little funky bones. There's so much surface area that they can pick up smell. As opposed to you look at a human skull, they have hardly any terminate bones. And we think we can smell. We can't do anything compared to a polar bear, okay? The sense of touch. Think about things. How animals use their sense of touch for different things. Look at raccoons.

Raccoons use their sense of touch for food. They can feel things in holes. They can pretty much determine anything with their sense of touch. Their sense of touch is incredibly important to them. Okay? Sense of sight. We're going to go to any bird of prey.

Whether you're talking about an owl, you're talking about an eagle, you're talking about an animal that can read a newspaper 100 yards away even though Tony says it's a muela. It's not. They can do it.

or if they could read assuming they can read that you know that's a big assumption of course you're taking a stretch there but the bottom line is they can make the details out of those little letters on a newspaper from 100 yards away they have an eagle can spot a mouse from almost half a mile in the air spot a mouse in the grass come on guys it's unbelievable stuff okay now the taste i don't know about the taste i don't know what's going to have the taste type thing going on there so i
