The Sultan of Brunei was told by a seer from Kalimantan that his life would last as long as he "Partook of the flesh of those of a size with man." He interpreted this prophecy to mean that he need to eat the flesh of animals that are at least as big as a man. He is working his way through the world animal kingdom. So far he has eaten at least one bite of every North and South American animal that weighs over 150 pounds. He has started on the other continents but the rarity of certain animals, such as the giant panda, has made this part of his quest more difficult. After the land animals he intends to start with fish and marine mammals, ending with invertebrates, notably the giant squid and its rarer cousin, the colossal squid.
