    Forensic scientists caught a deer munching on a human carcass for the first time ever

    The inevitable end of Bambi's innocence.

    Forensic scientists caught a deer munching on a human carcass for the first time ever

    ...In July 2014, researchers left a body in a wooded part of FARF. They wanted to learn about how different scavengers leave their marks on human remains, so they set up a motion-sensitive camera to see who would stop by. In this part of Texas, it’s not unusual to see foxes, turkey vultures, raccoons, coyotes, and other carrion-gobblers picking at a corpse. But after a few months, someone new came to the table.

    I guess it's only fair considering how many deer I've eaten.

    Carnivorous deer? Perhaps it's a Zombie Deer?

    Sign of the End Times?

    Where's Ghostbusters when you need 'em?
    Wearing a mask with your nose sticking out is like wearing a condom on your testicles.

    When out walking, look out for PROBlems. You know: maskless Plague Rats On Bicycles who blow past you without giving you time to get out of the way.

    Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.

    Yah. TMK, deer don't have the right kind of teeth to eat meat. If you look @ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.ce19052baa64

    you'll see:

    "Other ungulates, or hooved mammals, have also been known to nibble on animal remains despite their vegetarian reputation. This often occurs in the cold season, when bone is a good source of essential minerals, such as calcium and sodium, that deer and their cousins cannot procure from their local forests’ barren midwinter produce section.

    "In an email, lead author Lauren Meckel, a graduate student at Texas State University, emphasized that the deer caught on camera was not flesh-eating. It was bone-eating, and more specifically, it was dry-bone eating. Carnivores typically go for fresh remains and puncture the bones, whereas ungulates prefer desiccated bones and leave behind a “stripped, forked pattern” with their zigzagging jaws, the paper notes."
