Well, some things really are better the day after, like soups and stews. Flavors are given time to actually meld together.Obbl wrote:[ Trailer Fodder ]

She does, she just doesn't really understand it. We saw that back at the fair arc when she offered him a corn dog thinking it didn't have any meat in it.Amazee Dayzee wrote:I wonder if Jessica knows that Zack is a herbivore and won't eat anything that isn't a vegetable or anything that is expired.
Given Karishad's record, would you wanna be responsible for him?Frank wrote:So, I'm guessing rock's regular camera crew are too wussy to take this job?
This is the only part of your post that might be in any way true, as fooling tourists with nonsensical stories is something of a pastime in some cultures.TheGayHare wrote:Heck there is a type of tropical island squirrell that the natives say kills deer and eat there hearts.
Bonus snacks for Karishad.rourkie wrote:I think you guys are missing an important point here. Jess probably stores all her "regular" food under or around her sleeping nest/burrow for safe keeping. She probably did the same with these items out of habit mostly.
Youd like to think so wouldn't you. and while there is no documented proof of the killer heart eating squirrel. there i plenty of scientific, video and anacdotal evidance for the other situations I mentioned.Fish Preferred wrote:This is the only part of your post that might be in any way true, as fooling tourists with nonsensical stories is something of a pastime in some cultures.TheGayHare wrote:Heck there is a type of tropical island squirrell that the natives say kills deer and eat there hearts.

That sounds more like teritorial behavior though. They're eliminating competition for their actual food. that doesn't mean they have the digestive structures to actually digest and derive nourishment from it.TheGayHare wrote:the fact that red and gray squirrels eat eggs, and will kill and eat the young of competitor squirrel that enter there territory i well documented.
Horses do the exact same thing. Just because they can eat meat doesn't mean they're part carnivore though. Technically anything can eat anything if it has the right kind of teeth. Animals consuming things they can't digest doesn't indicate anything other than anomalous behavior. What you should be doing is trying to find WHY they're behaving in this way, not repeating and compounding other people's speculation like the pair of Internet-tabloids (There are no cited sources and none of the links go anywhere credible. Just poor quality youtube videos and eachother's articles.) you cited are doing.TheGayHare wrote:scientists have documented deer eating birds, baby birds, frogs and eggs, as well as stripping meat from fresh kills, or rooting around in gut piles placed in the woods to study the local scavengers.
a few articles though if you don't believe me

This is the problem of modern science. We have these great new tools and yet no one will consider evidence caught by them "credible". I can understand from the point of view of writing an academic paper. However, that is not what he's doing. He's not stating why just that they do. He's stating a random fact. take it as is and move on. that is what I do. believe me wasting too much time checking facts is just inane.Buster wrote:That sounds more like teritorial behavior though.

Going back to the horse example, For a horse, there's no nutritional or caloric benefit to consuming meat products, they can't digest it properly. in some cases it actually causes problems. They'll eat it, but there's no point to it (beyond possibly flavor?). It's not a hard leap to make that deer, a herbivore from a similar genetic family, share this trait.
Plenty of animals will eat things they can't digest. Humans do it all the time. Scavengers that steal trash will sometimes eat plastic. Bears will eat dirt while preparing to hibernate. My dog used to eat logs. I knew a dog down the road from the house I grew up in that ate ROCKS. That doesn't magically mean lithovores exist outside of fiction, any more than odd behaviour from a few deer make them carnivores.
unless you can provide proof from a credible source (Ie: someone who cites a university or reseasrch institution as their source, not poor cellphone cam videos.) that actually explains Why it's happening rather than just speculating What is happening you're not going to get anywhere.
Speaking of which, this topic should probably be dropped or moved elswhere before one of the mods gets angry about going off topic...

And, yes cheetahs commence homosexual activities I believe. It still doesn't represent anything because it is so solemn, and that so few cases occur.
In general, nature is weird.
