African Wild Asses have some of the strongest stomachs of any living animal so they can eat thorn bushes,bark and other substances. Their teeth also play a major role in their daily life. Their teeth specialize in grinding which is essential in the wild because of the grasses they eat which protect themselves from grazers.
