>>5017596 Beavers don't actually eat wood. They eat a very thin layer of it that they can digest. They don't have the microbiome to digest lignin or cellulose.
>>5017797 No. We can't either. It's why we suck at digesting plant matter and only shit like fruits and vegetables that are basically fleshy material for seeds is even edible to us. If you tried eating grass or wood you'd ultimately just starve to death. To digest it well you need what herbivores have which is basically a fermentation chamber. Or have a microbiome adapted for it like termites. Even shit like carpenter ants don't eat wood though they chew through it. Cellulose is very difficult to digest, lignin even moreso. Very few things are capable of getting anything out of it.
