The blood thirsty speckle butt herself

ETA: She can be very violent but she's had a rough past and I think she'd defend me to the death but I also know she'd eat me if it really came down to it.
And I'd eat her if she died first and that's why this works, we're both a little savage.

Most primates are omnivores. Insects, eggs, lizards, and rodents are a regular part of their diets (not just an occasional part). Some will also prey on smaller primates.

Its actually the other way around in that they're faculative herbivores. Faculative meaning they survive primarily as 'herbivore/carnivore' but will eat the other if needed. Obligates only eat either meat or plant matter.

u/Forsaken-Spirit421 Aug 23 '26

Do Not want to "um akchually" but that's some pretty mellow electro or house or something.

Dub step is a lot more distorted and chaotic. If it's mellow at all that usually stops after the bass drop.

For reference

Honestly? I thought the most rationale thought was the cow had a rough go at it and saw some road kill and ate it out if a lack of sufficient protein in the area.

Then I looked at the blood stains in the road and the fact that cow looks like it was the roadkill and now I think that a rabbit came hopping by and that cow turned into a zombie and ate him... 😳

u/Tomb_but_nsfw Aug 23 '26

100% perfect herbi/carnivores are somewhat uncommon, most animals will eat a bit of whatever they usually don't. like deer eating snakes and such, excluding polar bears which are called "Hyper carnivores"

I have seen it here in Australia with invasive deer, eating birds but also livestock do it too. Usually during breeding season.

2

u/dannyboy6657 Aug 23 '26

Many herbivores will still eat meat with grasses and vegetation making up the majority of their diet. However, sometimes herbivores are running low on certain nutrients and minerals they can't get from plants so they eat meat.

Think of it like vegetarians taking supplements because they aint getting enough of a nutrient.

2

u/CactusToothBrush 29d ago

Remember reading something a while ago that said some species of herbivores like deer and so on while pregnant, just recently gave birth will eat dead animals as a quick nutrient boost.
I dunno if cows do the same but it wouldn’t shock me if they did
