A female oriental latrine fly (Chrysomya megacephala) feeds on feces
Coprophagia (/ˌkɒprəˈfeɪdʒiə/KOP-rə-FAY-jee-ə)[1] or coprophagy (/kəˈprɒfədʒi/kə-PROF-ə-jee) is the consumption of feces. The word is derived from the Ancient Greek κόπροςkópros "feces" and φαγεῖνphageîn "to eat". Coprophagy refers to many kinds of feces-eating, including eating feces of other species (heterospecifics), of other individuals (allocoprophagy), or one's own (autocoprophagy) – those once deposited or taken directly from the anus.[2]
In humans, coprophagia has been described since the late 19th century in individuals with mental illnesses and in some sexual acts,[3] such as the practices of anilingus and felching where sex partners insert their tongue into each other's anus and ingest biologically significant amounts of feces.[4] Some animal species eat feces as a normal behavior, in particular lagomorphs, which do so to allow tough plant materials to be digested more thoroughly by passing twice through the digestive tract. Other species may eat feces under certain conditions.
