Why are Herbivores Eating Meat?

Instagram: / thebudgetmuseum
You ever wonder why there’s sometimes an incidence of friendly neighborhood deer/cow/turtle eating meat? Well, say no more. This video will help answer why sometimes, herbivores go across team lines to chow down on other animals.

    Yeah, alligators for example will be very tolerant mothers for the first two weeks. Then she will no longer recognize her own offspring and they become food. That's why they abandon their mother as soon as they are able to. Don't mess with what has worked successfully for about 180,000,000 years.

    When I was 12, I was watching a whitetail doe eating corn at a feeder with some squirls. There was plenty of corn for all of them. But this one squirl kept running all around the does legs. Then she snapped. She began stomping the squirl for about 30 seconds. It was pulp. Then she leaned down and began biting it and used a hoof to hold it down and she pulled the whole back off. Then just sat there chewing it. As a 12yo without a weapon all alone in the woods, that was the creepiest thing I've ever seen and I was terrified. I had about a 5 mile walk back to my cabin in woods filled with carnivorous deer.

    There have been many sightings both in the wild and in captivity of giant aldabra and Galapagos torises raising up as high as they can, waiting for a bird to wander underneath them, and then dropping all of their weight on the bird to kill it and then eat it. This is not a freak occurrence, it's something these animals clearly know how to do, and on the other side of things crocodilians have been observed eating fallen fruit in the wild and captivity as well.

    Something that I realized recently is that carnivory is kind of the default for animals. We don't need a complex gut for it, so we kind of all ready have the enzymatic machinery for it. Other animals have all of the nutrients required for making an animal (so it's a pretty perfect food source). In a way, herbivores have simply specialized into dealing with the defenses of plants.

I explained that the deer's offspring drink milk from the mother, which has both animal proteins and fats in it, and its growth is accelerated by drinking milk. The vegan could not believe that herbivores are not vegans, his ideology could not make that leap. Lolz!

    Yeah, vegans are often their own worst enemy when promoting their lifestyle. There _is_ in fact very good reasons for modern humans to go vegan, ranging from animal altruism; to the environment and climate change; and even our own diet and overall health. But many vegans will instead opt for flawed and fallacious arguments like the dishonest assertion that humans are herbivores.

Going vegan does have benefits, I can agree on that, but they shouldn't re-write our evolutionary history to fit an agenda. If someone cares about the lives of animals, that should be more than enough for them if they're sane people, rather than making things up that don't really line up with scientific evidence shown thus far in the last century of research on anthropologic history.

    This reminds me of the first time I have seen a "flesh-eating" deer in action. I went to a zoo with my parents when I was about ten or so. They had a large herd of fallow deer roaming around in an area you can walk through and enclosed in that area was the brown bear exhibit. You were allowed to feed the deer (with hay cobs from special feeding stations) and the bears (with meat jerky, also from special feeding stations) and because someone some time ago had trained one of the bears to do small tricks, people were crazy with feeding the bears. Me too. So I bought a number of meat jerky to feed to the bears, when one of the deers approached me. He gnawed on my jacket, bumped me with his head and did what he could to get my attention (and those of the other kids feeding the bears). After a while I turned around, presenting him a bit of the jerky and the deer (and only him, non of the females of the herd!) happily ate it away. When the other kids (human, not deer ;-) ) saw this, they started feeding him meat, too. He even got a bit of a reputation as a "flesh-eating" deer around where I live. And now, after I saw your video, things start to finally make sense. He is (or was, I doubt he still lifes) exspecially tame around spring time, when his antlers start growing. I even once read a story from a man from eastern europe (I think Bulgaria or Hungary). His grandfather had told him once around WW II they kept some chickens. But regularly the eggs went missing, so he (the grandpa) would stay up at night to "catch the damn fox or thief". It would've taken some days, but in the end he caught the "thief". It was the neighbour's horse. Somehow the horse managed to enter the coop and feast on the eggs. Not to mention our dog, who, when given the opportunity, would take apple and pumpkin over meat any time. I think there is something like a preferrence for diffrent kind of food (either because of taste and/or texture) even in animals, especially in domesticated ones. Would be rather weird if it's only a human thing to have (and preferrence for taste/ texture isn't the same as the strange eating philosophies humans adapt, these are more of a cultural thing. Than again, Orca's are distinguishable by their preferred prey and hunting method, as this is passed down from mother to calf. Which in a wide sense is a cultural thing, too ...)

    Dogs are actually considered omnivores by most experts. A more developed small intestine allows them to digest plant matter more efficiently than their ancestors, the wolves. Some experts refute this, but it's generally thought to be true. Also cattle are INCREDIBLY efficient with their food. If I remember correctly they have a very good FCR. I'm taking another Animal Nutrition course next semester, my last one was last semester, so maybe I'm remembering wrong on that last part😂 overall loved the video!

    @@syweb2 Feed Conversion Ratio. In agriculture, it refers to how efficiently an animal can convert feed into the desired product. For example you can use it to figure out how much feed it would take to get one unit of a desired output, whether that output be muscle, wool, milk, ect. FCR might have not been the best way to say what I was trying to say earlier. I mostly meant that they can make use of the nutrients in forages and roughages (like grasses) very very efficiently. Almost nothing goes to wast in the Ruminant digestive system, which isn't true with the human body and many other monogastric animals without a highly developed cecum. We are unable to digest plant based materials nearly as effectively as cattle, so a lot of potential nutrients comes out as waste because we are unable to digest it. Again, I'm just a student. I might've gotten some details wrong here, but this is how I understand it 😊

    I learned at a young age what herbivores and carnivores were, but I also learned that, because of my family's dogs also sometimes eating grass (and other plant based things from time to time) that carnivore wasn't an exclusivity but a primary. In other words, carnivores primarily eat meat but will eat plant based things too, but they cannot change from carnivore to herbivore (*Looks at vegens that try to force their dogs and/or cats on vegen diets*). So, one could conclude the opposite would (and is) possible. The odd one out appears to be omnivores. Thing is, omnivores are natures "not picky eaters", they can borderline eat anything put on their plate. Hogs, goats, and primates are the best examples of this group. And, yes, that includes humans. We can eat bones and even metals, we can even eat things other animals can't, like the product of coco beans (AKA, chocolate) and caffeine (It's literally a poison that we can consume and often do on a mass scale), and when someone suffers from an iron deficiency, they literally lack iron, as in the atom, AKA the *metal,* that their body needs. We even enjoy eating food with the chemicals from seed pods that are designed to make animals regret eating into them, minus birds because their bodies literally can't interact with those chemicals in that way.

Bears like the polar bear are the ones breaking this habit, having specialized towards a carnivorous diet instead. To add further to pandas: They do sometimes eat meat, huting small rodents and similar animals as a negligible portion of their diet.

    They don’t have teeth for crushing or grinding down food, so they swallow stones to help crush it. This is further aided by the gizzard, which is like a really muscular stomach, that usually contains stones that the bird has ingested. This helps the bird “chew” the food properly, thereby digesting it and extracting the nutrients. In fact, dinosaurs, specifically the vegetarian ones, had mouthparts similar to that of the birds of today, and had gizzards as well. Compare that to crocodiles, which are related to birds (both being descendants of dinosaurs), who also have gizzards, but are able to rip and tear flesh, due to presence of teeth.

    I’ve got 2 squirrels in my backyard that literally hunt down birds and chew them from head to tail!!! It’s incredibly disturbing and I can’t get the noise of the chewing of bones and feathers out of my head with their bloody faces!

    The writers doesn’t know much about animals. Rabbits have sharp claws, white & albino are two different things, most reptiles & birds have cloacas, etc. Leaving to the side that the breeding of certain species of animals it’s biologically impossible. Different species have different puzzles. Oh & in the second season he tasted meat from the Lion group & Louis loves it but his reaction before that it’s dumb. I stopped watched after that episode.

    Certain arcs will have "omnivorous" character, but choose meat for "tastier" reasons. Also I really love the sea creatures in the series. I think Beastars simplified some things to deliver a more dramatic story which is totally fine imo. I mean the author's intention is not an animal documentary but a humanistic drama with the skin of animal kingdom.

    There is a difference between herbivores occasionally eating meat, omnivores regularly eating both plants and meat and carnivores occasionally eating plants. Plants are incredibly difficult to digest and eating an entire animal requires drastic adaptations to break down all the fat (you‘d probably die if you ate the liver of a carnivore). It‘s not the same if you only eat meat from time to time or if it‘s an essential component of your diet. It all comes down to adaptation of the gut and jaw as well as eating habits.
