A cannibal can be defined as an animal that feeds on flesh of its own species. It can also be a person who feeds on the flesh of other human beings. This top ten list will focus on the former (the animals) and take a look at the ten well-known and observed cannibals in the animal kingdom. Scroll down to read the list:
Rabbits are the sweet and cute animals with larger than life ears. These have one more characteristic of baby making in a bunch. Unfortunately, these land animals are good cannibals as well. Rabbits don’t think much and for any reason they turn their kid into the regular snack.
Lobsters are also know to eat each other in the wild. It’s commonly believed that the rise in sea temperature has produced more lobsters. After repeated experiments, scientists concluded that juvenile lobsters were 90 percent more likely to be attacked and eaten by adult lobsters than by any other type of fish.
Polar bears are these types of cannibals who eat other polar bears alive; they don’t wait for the prey to be dead. Cannibalism is mostly found in polar bears, as bigger ones find a good snack in the younger ones. A major excuse of the cannibalism in polar bears is the climate change as ice flows and melts in a different proportion so this tends to a scarcity of food which leads to eating each other.
Snails are also one the cuties of the land who lives in grass. But apart from their cuddly and flexible body, some of them are deadly and aggressive cannibals also. These are called wolf snails; they have an awesome speed and superior size to hunt others to eat them. These are a superb hunter and have a variety of ways of eating the prey.
Ground Squirrel is one of the animals who love and care her children the most, but when some other squirrel kills and eats them. Now when squirrel lose its children, it moves to another squirrels place and snatch other children. Only some of the baby squirrel live for a year, most of them die. Further, the mother squirrel will go to another area and the vicious cycle continues. Also, they don’t find good excuses to eat the meal out of unrelated babies, which tastes delicious and are also nutritious.
