Simple question. We, as omnivours must eat fruits and vegetables to be healthy but… Lions? Sharks? Cocodriles? Where are their vitamins. Thanks

They basically get it from whatever they eat. Unlike humans where we cannot digest many things such as bone and egg shells, animals especially snakes have much stronger digestive tracks that lets them swallow and devour things whole. This lets them get vitamins that humans cannot. As for plant matter, they dont require as much plant based vitamins as humans do, but they do get plant based vitamins from digesting their prey’s stomachs and intestines that would have left over plant life.
