  Tortoise: “I’m not a goddamn rock! You pooped on me for the last time! …Not so tough these days, eh, dinosaur?”

  But seriously, not surprising. I heard that many tortoises, while herbivorous, will just happily munch all snails that rest on the greens. (For nutrition. And also to demonstrate superiour speed!)

  NGL if a turtle eats you, that sounds like a skill issue on your part.

  If you’re surprised by this, you haven’t been following giant tortoises.

  Zoos secretly buy rejected 1-day-old male chicks from egg farms: it’s the cheapest live meat for carnivores. I wonder if that’s how the chick got near the tortoise.

    Carniverous? All living giant tortoise species are herbivores.

    Now who’s stupid.

    source

    • Holytimes@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Damn well near every herbivore will happily eat meat if it’s entirely risk free and can easily be eaten.

      Look at horses as a great example.

      ...apparently, we're both wrong...according to wikipedia...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoise

  Not that surprising. Many herbivores are opportunistic carnivores.

  • angrystego@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Also most carnivores are oportunistic herbivores too. It’s not shocking enough, but it’s true.

      Yeah, I also feel like that’s not a surprise to anybody that’s had dogs.

    Usually mostly mammals though because since they’re able to digest breast milk a little meat tends to agree with them better. But yeah at the end of the day free protein is probably worth an upset tummy out in the wild.

    yeah, have these people ever seen any animals before?

  Fun… Well not really fun… Fact:

  Giant tortoise didn’t get a scientific name for 300 years. They were so delicious no crew actually managed to get one back to England. They always ended up eating all the cargo.

  • AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Another not-so-fun-fact: several tortoise species have gone extinct due to humans hunting them for food.

  Everyone eats baby birds. They’re full of delicious little bones, which plants are famous for lacking.

  Herbivores are pretty universally opportunistic carnivores. Check YouTube for examples if you want a fairly jarring few minutes

  • bitcrafter@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    …though my personal recommendation is that you don’t.

    source
  • zeca@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Are we actually herbivores that are oportunistic carnivores?

    source

    • astutemural@midwest.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Man, we’re opportunistic everything.

      source
    • Gullible@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Try to feed an herbivore a nutritionally stable 100 percent meat diet and they’ll just die. Try the same with us and we’ll be relatively fine indefinitely. Definitely not herbivores

      I think I got the search terms reversed

      extinct terror bird holding a horse in it’s mouth, but the size difference is goofy it’s holding the whole horse in it’s beak meaning either the bird is like 5 times bigger than actual or the horse is only a foot long

  Need to snack on the crunchy chicks to get the evil modifier up. There’s a door with loot, after all.

  It’s okay, because you can get even more loot by donating to a temple; and everyone forgets it.
