Ladies and Gentlemen, I was sitting my the pool yesterday, with an air rifle, shooting birds to feed our owls. I shot this dove, which fell in the compound where the gazells are. A scimitar horned oryx approached it, and started to sniff it. Then he proceeded to eat it! I let him feed on it for a while, then went and took these photoes!   | ||

Whitetail deer here have been known to occasionally eat strange things, even fish !! No one seems to know why. | |||

I had a horse that would eat squirrels and rabbits. He seemed to enjoy crunching the bones the most. Pretty gross but true. ~Ann   | |||

Had a friend that had a pet Grey Duiker and his new born chickens kept going missing.He thought it was the dog until he caught the duiker in the act.We then did some research into this and we found that duikers are well know for eating meat and carian | |||

A random guess here, but could it be the sign of a mineral deficiency of some sort? | |||

The film is "Black Sheep"... It is pretty much a zombie-sheep flick...ala "Night of the Living Dead" spin off... Saeed you need to stay indoors and prepare to defend yourself...aim for the head!!!  At least we know you have plenty of rifles for just such an occasion... ______________________ Sometimes there is no spring... Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm... | |||

Hi Saeed, nice gory pics! It is not unheard of for stict vegetarians to munch on carrion from time to time. I would second the mineral/vitamin deficiency theory. He may have just been curious too! You were brave to enter the pen to retrieve the remains  | |||

Your discovery seems to go along with the observations by researchers studying chimps that show they are not only carnivorous, but cannibalistic. Maybe most animals will become "omnivores" when opportunity or an need for something they are not getting in their food occurs. Kudude | |||

Hi,
our neighbour's horse once ate one of their ducks. Somewhat ironic, as the horse's name was "Flamingo". Cheers. | |||

It seems like many different animals at times do eat things that are not normally considered to be their diet. I have seen ducks & ducklings (mallards) that fight over some fish heads & leftovers from when I gutted the fish to smoke it. They were just like seagulls! Normally the mallards up here do not let any human be within 50-100 meters of them and would never try to get some breadcrums as they do further south. Sincerely Daniel | |||

I have read reliable (game dept.) reports of deer eating nestlings. | |||

I have seen a muskrat kill and eat a crippled mudhen, so I would think anything is possible! I would think that at times of biological stress, critters will eat whatever they can. Interesting to see that apparently well fed zoo animals would do this. | |||
