| Mammals differ because they expect their teeth to do the work of a gizzard or large, muscular gut. |
| In Acton Lake, our study site, and many other systems, gizzard shad feed almost exclusively on organic detritus as adults. |
| To compensate, internal organs such as the gizzard, gonads, and intestine may shrink. |
| Due to their soft food diet, lorikeets have a weak ventricular muscle or gizzard, which is usually used for grinding seeds by other birds. |
| Just a day before salvation comes, a burly, angry con assaults Nick and sticks his shiv into Nick's gizzard. |
| Herbivorous, granivorous and insectivorous birds have a highly specialized, muscular gizzard with an inner lining of hard cuticle. |
