hornbill and millipede breakfast

hornbill and millipede breakfast : the millipede, or shongololo as it is known in ZA, contains cyanide and 3 shongololos contain enough to kill a human. some animals thrive on millipedes however. this hornbill seemed to quite like it. apparently civets, shy smallish cats of the african bush (we saw some footprints, but weren't lucky enought to spot one) eat between 150 and 250 millipedes per night!
