Deer eat human corpse - will start hunting humans next

a deer, normally a herbivorous animal, has been recorded nibbling on human remains

http://www.popsci.com/deer-eating-human-remains#page-5

On January 5, 2015, the camera caught a glimpse of a young white-tailed deer standing near the skeleton with a human rib bone in its mouth. Then it happened again on January 13—the camera caught a deer with another rib sticking out of its mouth like a cigar. It’s not clear whether it was the same deer in both cases, but it's certainly possible first one came back for seconds.

This is the first known evidence of a deer scavenging human bones, and the authors published their findings in the Journal of Forensic Sciences.

I've heard of black squirrels attacking and eating other animals.

Squirrels are dicks in general.

Dale: [points to deer outside] I am photographically memorizing your face.

Bill: Huh, look at that, he's staring right back at you.

Dale: daih! [closes steel shutters]

deer scavenge pretty often actually. they need calcium, phosphorus and protein. there's some good images out there of a deer eating its own roadkilled fawn.

they chew bones often, antler sheds too. it's another reason they'll show up to salt licks- they're after the minerals in the bone.

eating a human corpse though... this is fantastic.

I've heard cows and deer will eat small animals that are ground level, like birds. Not entirely herbivorous.
