There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The bear did not bother to pursue him. The confrontation had been a noisy one, but with absolutely no physical contact. The bear then opened up the calf's stomach and began sucking on the gory juices. Then, using his paw, he tore out the intestines and ate them. Next, while holding down the carcass with one paw, he opened out the young buffalo's chest with a single sweep of the other paw and fed on the heart and lungs, sucking up all the blood in the cavity. It was interesting to note that he did not eat any of the 'flesh' (muscle). After feeding for about an hour and a half, the bear sat down patiently, cleaned his paws and face, rolled on the sandy road, and then ambled off in the same direction from whence he had come.

Interesting!! I never read about this before. This means the bear's digestive system does not have much ability do digest flesh or muscular tissue. So, he may be feeding alternatively on the vegetation or is it that they chose this lifestyle of being omnivorous rather than carnivore (which has the ability to digest flesh under all circumstances) since the early times. Even if you see grizzly their favourite food is fish which are relatively easier to digest than other forms of non veg food. It seems they were vexed with their once carnivorous nature and preferred to feed on vegetation but retained their ability to digest soft tissues but unable to retain much their ability to digest tougher muscular tissue. Due to change in circumstances or surroundings, their carnivorous ancestors must have preferred vegetarian food due to more strain of being a carnivore.
