Saw a video of one playing with a rat one time. After it got through playing with it, gobbled it up.

Probably a corn snake.

Lots of reports of deer eating dead fish on the shores of Lake Michigan. Heard of a deer munching on a dead skunk.

Deer are just a pretty goat !

Never seen that before, but have seen turkeys eat snakes. Deer do eat the placenta after they have their fawns, not really the same but maybe somewhat similar, and it is that time of year....

I wonder if the placenta tastes like chicken, I've heard that rattlesnake does.

Interestingly, many species of mammal eat their placenta. It is extremely rich in nutrients. Letting it lay on the ground is a huge waste of resources.

The crazy thing is, that's the new rage with young women giving birth - keeping, drying, grinding up and eating their placenta. Yuck!

Come on man !

Come on man !

I'm serious. It is highly touted and practiced among the "Natural Birth" zealotry crowd.

Although, from my observations, this whole Natural Birthing thing (giving birth in the bathtub at home with no medications) is far more about women wanting to brag about how tough they are versus anything that is beneficial to the child. One more "Look at me!" trend.

The placenta also has hormones that stimulate the mammary glands to produce milk.

In case you weren't aware, the medications that are administered during birth in most cases when doing anything other then a "natural" birth are terrible for your body. For example the epidural that 95% of women end up getting during birth, is linked to alot of problems including premature back problems later on in life. So while you entitled to your own observation, mine is that everyone i know of that have gave birth naturally (including my wife) have done so because they would not take the risk of bigger problems down the road, so they could actually hold their baby after it was birthed, and because it is exactly what it is called, "Natural" Its how it is meant to be done and it is how it has been done since the beginning of time. Not to "flaunt" and hop on a trend. I couldn't be more proud of my wife for giving birth naturally not once but twice.

Sounds like it needs a "keep hammering!" t-shirt or something

Good for you and your wife. But medically, I can't disagree more with virtually everything you said.

Wow. This thread didn't drift, it took a 90 degree turn.

But that's okay, it happens all the time.

 

[BigAl]

Saw a video of a small buck eating a bird. Snake? Now that's a new one. Don't want to see a video on other other subject being discussed.

My wife chose the no meds what so ever route with all three of ours but medically we were smart enough to have them at the hospital incase things went astray, and no way was she having a kid in our bathtub
