You want a weird adaptation?
Plenty of species have external digestion; flies, fungi and bacteria being the principal proponents.
Humans however are, thus far, unique in having partial external digestion as a cultural artefact; we call it cooking.

In much of the world, and certainly in East and South East Asia, it is the continued ability to digest lactose beyond childhood that is unusual. You milk-drinkers are the mutants. Literally. I am lactose-intolerant, as are about 95% of Chinese people. Ice-cream lovers of the world should consider themselves fortunate that they don't have to compete with with us!

if i recall correctly, the mutation for lactose tolerance is known to have occurred 4 times, independently in separate human populations around the world. in each case this was followed by a massive population boom, as consuming milk allowed for better nutrition into adulthood.
