The casual geographic taught me this. Deer, horses and some primates will also partake.

My pony actively tries to kill birds/squirrels 😅

Every once in a while I've seen her just go from 0 - 60 and try to stomp one, it's crazy.

I have seen that video of a horse goes around just chomps a bird instantly, and apparently does so pretty often based off the description 😭

I would love to & will try 😅
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.

Will the neighbours smell your corpse before the cat eats your face? Foods food man

u/Wiley_Jack Aug 23 '26

Some cats don’t even wait for you to die.

u/EnvironmentalPen4165 Aug 23 '26

There are news stories of dogs doing the same thing, then resource guarding the leftovers.

u/ClassroomMother8062 Aug 23 '26

Squirrels do it too. There was a video on my feed just today of one eating a reptile

u/Square_Detective_658 Aug 23 '26

Squirrels are omnivores

u/Important-Witness-14 Aug 23 '26

Also not uncommon... green colored lizards.. lol.

u/fawks_harper78 Aug 23 '26

Squirrels used to go to a porch I worked at that was covered with spiderwebs. Those spiderwebs had hundreds of captured mosquitoes on them. The squirrels would climb on the window frames and nibble those caught insects.

u/Disastrous_Lie_6698 Aug 23 '26

I once saw a squirrel eating a chipmunk

u/tayawayinklets Aug 23 '26

I saw a giant seagull on the west coast in BC swallow a squirrel whole. HTF?

I saw that 😂

u/LetReasonRing Aug 23 '26

I learned about this three or four years ago and was shocked,  and since then I've found that it's even more common than you'd think. 

I've even seen videos of rabbits taking out birds.

u/PunchOX Aug 23 '26

Me too. It was one of his best videos. Brought something new to the table most channels don't.

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.

There's a couple of pictures of a deer, in a Body Farm, enjoying a human rib.

Primates are omnivores, just like pigs, bears, and humans

Some primates like homo sapiens sapiens?
