    Yeah, I wash shocked to find out that Squirrels hunted and ate smaller mice when they felt the urge.

      Almost all herbivores are opportunistic carnivores. Cows are known to eat rats found in the hay. Horses sometimes gobble down a chick if they feel like it.

      All these strict rules people believe about biology were prescribed by scholars of old who believed in a perfect creation where everything had its place, but reality is very messy.
