Discover interesting about animals
Most people think that predators must be aggressive, sharp teeth and sharp claws. But what do you think when you see a colorful parrot eat meat better than eat a nut or a sheep enjoying a baby bird?
That is 100% truth. And that fact proves that the animal world is extremely diverse and hidden many unexpected secrets . Here are the animals that will make you look surprised because they used to eat vegetables and fruits, but in particular they like 'sticky meat'.
1. Lori parrot
Cute, colorful Lori parrots are widely distributed in Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and Australia.They are birds with specialized tongue structures for eating bile and pollen.
Lori parrots are a species of birds that eat honey and pollen
However, some parrots of Lori have developed a curious hobby: eating raw meat . Experts discovered this when doing the following experiment.
They put minced meat pieces together with seeds, fruits, nectar . outdoors for different birds to eat. Strangely, even though there was a separate food section, it was unknown how many Lori parrots fly to eat, not the usual nectar.
But when needed .
. they will not refuse meat
Until now, scientists have not fully understood the reason for this phenomenon. However, several hypotheses have also been proposed. Accordingly, biologists believe that due to illness, nutritional deficiencies, or even geographical changes, Lori parrots have changed their traits . In other words, when the habitat and food supply of this parrot are changed, it is normal to expand the 'menu' from familiar dishes.
2. Duiker antelope
Duiker antelope is one of the densely populated 'communities' in sub-Saharan Africa . They live mainly on thin forests and shrubs. With small horns and body, Duiker antelopes primarily defend themselves by hiding or running away from predators.

The daily food of this species is grass and leaves . Looking at their appearance, few people know that Duiker antelopes are real hunters. In addition to the above foods, Duiker antelopes also eat insects, scavengers or small mammals, birds, lizards and frogs.
Even some scientific reports confirm that Duiker antelopes like to play with their prey like the way cats do when hunting rats.

3. Nai
Don't let the deer Bambi in Walt Disney's famous cartoon of the same name fool you, they are not 'deer' like many people think. The deer can devour any petite creature they catch without having to wrestle with the larger prey.
Scientists have long noted that the deer's 'savory' menu includes fish, rabbit carcasses and even the intestines of other deer.

Not long ago, experts in Canada conducted an experiment. Accordingly, they spread nets to trap birds and bats, intending to release them immediately after completing the research.

However surprisingly, when the birds fall into the trap, a herd of deer goes through that area and they calmly "cup" the poor birds.
4. Cow
Cows have long been considered a gentle pet , they help people in many things from farming to the supply of milk and meat. When you look at a cow chewing, do you ever think that these dry creatures can catch and eat another animal?
In fact, the phenomenon of beef eating is real . In a village in West Bengal, India, a resident named Ajit Ghosh used to lose a lot of chickens without understanding why. This incident made Ajit extremely angry and decided to watch the chicken coop at night.
In the dark, who says cows do not become scary predators?
And what he witnessed is incredibly hard to believe. Lal, Ajit's calf, sneaked into the chicken coop, then caught and ate his master's cock like a wildcat.
So far, it has not been possible to explain the exact cause of this story. According to local veterinarians, this 'scary' behavior of Lal calf is due to nutritional deficiencies or some strange disease.
5. Sheep
Rum is an extremely strange island in Scotland . Here, the discovery of young seabirds lost parts such as legs, head and wings while meat and skin were almost intact, which is not uncommon. Meanwhile, everyone knows that there is no predator on this island, including dogs or cats.
So who is the culprit behind the strange phenomenon? After years of research, scientists have found that predators are native sheep. Accordingly, because Rum's diet is very calcium deficient, over time, the sheep on the island changed their habit of living . They catch young birds and eat meat to compensate for the daily calcium deficiency.
Does naive sheep sometimes turn into "demons"?
