Why animals can eat other animals intestines with feces?

839 viewsBiologyOther

This is something that always baffled me and seeing a video of a bear eating a salmon, it reminded me of this: The bear ate the salmon with it’s intestines, raw, no questions or care. Just bearing his own way through the salmon, barely a care in the world. And, like, I’ve seen videos of lions eating antelopes and zebra’s intestines also, and no issue there. Why? Would that work for all kinds of animals?

They often don’t. They carefully eat around them. I had a cat that caught rats almost daily. It would eat most of them and just leave the stomach and intestines on the kitchen floor for me to clean up. I only discovered it was eating rats as it got older and would only eat half of them.
