    Not that surprising. Many herbivores are opportunistic carnivores.

      Usually mostly mammals though because since they’re able to digest breast milk a little meat tends to agree with them better. But yeah at the end of the day free protein is probably worth an upset tummy out in the wild.

    Herbivores are pretty universally opportunistic carnivores. Check YouTube for examples if you want a jarring few minutes

        Try to feed an herbivore a nutritionally stable 100 percent meat diet and they’ll just die. Try the same with us and we’ll be relatively fine indefinitely. Definitely not herbivores

          Nah humans struggle with 100% meat. Even with modern supplementing.

          Humans are omnivores.

        extinct terror bird holding a horse in it's mouth, but the size difference is goofy it's holding the whole horse in it's beak meaning either the bird is like 5 times bigger than actual or the horse is only a foot long

    Fun… Well not really fun… Fact:

    Giant tortoise didn’t get a scientific name for 300 years. They were so delicious no crew actually managed to get one back to England. They always ended up eating all the cargo.

      Another not-so-fun fact: several tortoise species have gone extinct due to humans hunting them for food.

    Need to snack on the crunchy chicks to get the evil modifier up. There’s a door with loot, after all.

    It’s okay, because you can get even more loot by donating to a temple; and everyone forgets it.

    Everyone eats baby birds. They’re full of delicious little bones, which plants are famous for lacking.

      Carniverous? All living giant tortoise species are herbivores.

      Now who’s stupid.

        Damn well near every herbivore will happily eat meat if it’s entirely risk free and can easily be eaten.

        Look at horses as a great example.
