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.

@brotherbear Yes, I too was about say the same thing.  

Digestion in tigers: (A quick glance)
The biggest difference between carnivorous and herbivorous is the length of their Digestive System. In carnivores, the digestive system (especially the intestines) are much more shorter than in herbivorous. The main reason is that meat is more easy to digest than plants. Meat can be digested far more efficiently than grass. It requires far less complicated gut to convert meat to protein than to convert from grass to protein. Another good reason is that flesh rots very quick, which means that the animal has to be able to process all the nutrients as fast as possible. 

Recently, scientists have been observing how many animals self medicate. Tigers, like other cats eat grass to help with digestion or to bring up fur balls. But when looking at the scats of emaciated tigers who were riddled with parasites, zoologist George Schaller noted the presence of both grass and tapeworms, suggesting that tigers ate grass to cleanse the intestines of parasites. Other studies of tiger scats show that their stomach can cope with everything from porcupine quills to bear claws.
