Sea otters have pockets in their skin where they keep food and rocks for crushing seashells The favourite food of sea otters is seafood. Sea urchins, molluscs, crustaceans, fish, shellfish, clams, they’re all good. For this reason, they have a loose pouch of skin under each foreleg, extending across the chest. When they collect food underwater, they store it in the pockets, and also often keep a rock there to break open the harder shells.

Ketchup was sold as medicine in the 1830s⠀ ⠀ {Weekend Repost}⠀ A very old sauce, ketchup dates back from antiquity, when it was made from guts in Asia. Later, in the 16th century, the recipe had evolved into being an anchovies-based sauce, and was introduced by Chinese sailors to British settlers. Back to Britain, it was successively recreated using beer, then walnuts, then mushrooms. Tomatoes arrived in Europe around the same time, but were thoughts as poisonous. It is finally in the ninety centuries that tomato ketchup was introduced. Dr. John Cook Bennett, a physician from Ohio, considered it as a good treatment for digestive problems. It was even made into pills.⠀ ⠀ Source (short url): factourism.com/source/ketchup-medicine⠀ ⠀ #factourism #facts #fact #factsdaily #dailyfacts #interestingfacts #instafacts #amazingfact #truefacts #worldfacts #coolfacts #allfacts #factoftheday #factsoflife #funfacts #didyouknow #illo #illustration #illustrators #vectorillustration #drawing #heinzketchup #ketchupandmustard #ketchuplover #tomatoketchup #tomatosauce #tomato🍅 #tomatolove #plantmedicine #ancientmedicine
