    Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book where a fox steals sugar beets from a farmer because it got addicted to sugar. It’s nature. Rules are made to be broken in nature. That all I know.

      I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.

        Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD

          I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

        Haven’t heard of that book, but I’ll check it out.

        In the meantime, the video in question for those of you who are curious.

    As it turns out, many “herbivores” just need to eat and will fill in with your flesh given the chance and they’re hungry enough

      Great Tits aren’t herbivores, they mainly eat lots of insects. The description in the comic is pretty misleading.

    Apparently horses sometimes eat small birds. They shouldn’t but it seems it can happen if they are hungry, or bored and/or curious.

      A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.

      It wasn’t casual, it wasn’t out of hunger.

      The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.

        It’s an easy source of nutrition. Why wouldn’t you gobble up some chicks?

          Exactly.

          I once read an article where a biologist stated that herbivores should be instead considered oportunistic carnivores.

    Maybe their lifespan is so short it won’t matter.

    …and by “harsh” they mean “typical”

    Here, in the North, as snow covers the ground we make sacrificial fat ball offerings to the beast, you know, just in case. Brain is mostly fat tissue.

    The definition of “small mammals” is too vague, because compared to a blue whale, I am fairly small. That’s why I feed those critters.

    My honest reaction every time I see something like this. For what it’s worth, the small mammals were pipistrelle bats, and other flesh and organs were missing. I don’t think they’ve ever been reported to eat rodents.

      What you want to do is go to a search engine, and do an image search for mind blowing great tits. You’ll probably have to turn the content filter off because the image may be gory. Then, just go to the page associated with the most relevant image.
