👉 Endophagous is a biological term used to describe an organism that feeds on other organisms. It refers to a type of animal that consumes its own body parts for sustenance, often as part of the process of digestion. Endophagic animals are typically found in aquatic environments and feed on small, crustacean-sized prey such as insects or fish. This behavior is known as endosymbiosis, where an organism gains nutrients from another organism.
