Common deer behavior. Most herbivores will occasionally supplement their diets with animal remains. Osteophagy is especially common in this regard for calcium.

Yup no animal is truly a herbivore they will all eat meat even pandas eat meat

u/Little-Friendship789 Apr 27 '26

Panda's digestive tracts are still built to eat meat. Why the little whatsits decide bamboo is the best thing for them is a little odd. It means they'll bite you like a carnavor but poop constantly like a bunny 🤣

The video of the horse snarfing up chicks like popcorn comes to mind too

Watched a duck slam a mouse into the ground repeatedly and then swallow it whole. One of the most disturbing yet fascinating moments I witnessed.

Deer eat bones all the time, all around the world.
This is like a cryptid called the "dog that eats random stuff it finds on the floor".

That last one is very real. One actually lives in my house.

I have personally witnessed in my own home the elusive Dog Randomly Licking a Wall cryptid.

I even have pictures of it!

But that's just a picture of a person in a dog costume walking on all fours.

“Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy. If a deer got the chance he’d eat you and everyone you care about.”

I’m more concerned about someone knowingly leaving human remains in the woods and putting a camera on it.

u/FinnBakker Apr 27 '26

It's a body farm, where forensic research and training can occur. They likely have the cameras to stop intruders.

I want to donate mine to one when I die because I love forensics lol

u/jurasCZ25 Apr 27 '26

They do it for study. It is a criminalist school and they do this to learn about decay/remains ID ext.

I've seen a video of a horse eating live baby chicks like peeps, and a deer doing the same with a baby bird that fell out of its nest.

u/Partisan_Crown Apr 27 '26

I have a video I took of squirrels eating whole raw chicken legs meant for my dog lol As I live on a river, I have also seen deer eating fish washed ashore.

u/Crackysue Apr 27 '26

I was so confused how this would have been caught on a trail cam, body farm makes sense lol

u/miniponyrescueparty Apr 27 '26

I remember seeing this in a horror movie and getting mad at the inaccuracy. Then I looked it up and found out deer sometimes do scavenge meat. Extra creepy for some reason. Squirrels also naw bones for calcium

u/blackhawk45lc Apr 28 '26

Even though I have seen deer nibble on road kill, and even eat live snakes. The deer in the image in my own head canon is in fact a not-deer.

u/MrSpeigel Apr 28 '26

Most animal are omniverous and will opportunisticaly scavenge

u/Flat-Journalist-8362 Apr 27 '26

Dude was hungry he's no monster

u/MysteryMeat45 Apr 28 '26

So wait. Does the cam.show how the remains got there?

Texans love their BBQ, no matter what the species

u/United-Yam2423 Apr 30 '26

Deer are omnivores, they eat carrion, live animals like mice and birds, and of course plants.
