Basically as the title suggests.

They’ll take their prey down from the neck where possible to kill it but when it’s nomnom time they go towards the bumbum

Because the other end has teeth and horns and, up until very recently, could be dangerous. Better to give it the skip and work on the safer end for the time being.

Just to give some perspective, we (humans) also have a clear preference for the back half of animals compared to the front.
You are basically asking why you start eating pork from the ham.

To be crude, it’s a pre-made opening into the organs that doesn’t have teeth, and therefore easiest access to nutritious organs. Also generally the front half of an animal is the fighty part, the back half is the mating part, and mating-parts are less durable than fighting parts

It’s easier to open because there’s already an opening. Then they want the organs because that’s usually the most nutritious parts.

So it’s not outside the realm of possibility that in at least one prey’s last moments, he/she decided to shit on the predator (maybe out of fear, but it still is funny).

It’s because they eat back portion little that gastric juices and intestine fall out and then they take it somewhere else start eating from neck or chest bcz if they eat anything else first gastric juices will react and dead body will get buff filled with toxic gases tht will make them dead …..hope you understand
