2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Animal Behavior[edit]

Perhaps someone should explain why (some) animals do this. As far as I know, it's not for nutrition. It's to get rid of it, lest the smell of rotting placenta attract predators. I'm no expert, but could someone who knows better elaborate on this? FluffyGhostKitten (talk) 00:51, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Redirect[edit]

Should placenta redirect here? Lotus birth is probably as relevant, so maybe a disambiguation page, or a page that also discusses placentas in Traditional Chinese medicine? --Gospatric (talk) 10:37, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
