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?

A lot of good info about the differences of predators’ digestive tracts, but I’d also like to add…
You could also eat all that nasty stuff and survive. Sure, there’s a chance you’d get sick, but there’s also a chance that any of these animals will get sick.
Those bears you’re talking about are absolutely riddled with tapeworms and all kinds of other parasites. They’re not just fine after eating all that random crap. Life in the wild just kind of sucks and you get sick a lot.
