After spending the last couple of days talking about unique amphibians I wanted to mix up the Wild Facts today.\u00a0 My first instinct was to write about a cool insect but thought my readers may not appreciate that today.\u00a0 I made a compromise and decided to write up a Wild Fact on the Green Bee-Eater also known as the Little Green Bee-Eater. To witness this little green bird we need to make a travel decision.\u00a0 Do you prefer to go to Africa, Western Arabia or Asia? Personally, I have gone to Africa quite a bit with these Wild Facts so I think I will head out to India today, who is with me?<\/p>\n

The Green Bee-Eater is a small bird often found in open forests and grasslands on either continent they reside on. They will usually only grow to about 18 cm (7″) in length but have a wingspan of 30 cm (1 foot).\u00a0 As you may have guessed they primarily feed on bees. In fact about 80% of their diet is comprised of honeybees.\u00a0 The rest of their diet consists of other bees or various flying insects. I personally think it would be better if they didn’t eat bees and they were just named that to throw us off.\u00a0 You know, call it the Green Bee-Eater but this little bird actually eats lions, zebras or some other ridiculous animal.\u00a0 I know, it is late and I am getting silly!<\/p>\n
