This may suprise even some bio types, but there is photographic evedence to the fact. On one of the Islands off the coast of Great Britan there are what they call Red Stags/deer, these are related to the North American Elk (Rocky Mt and Roosevelt). They kill and eat sheep that are grazed near the shores of this Is. At first it was thought that it was being perpatrated by the dogs used to heard the sheep, and then wolves(no wolves on the Is. in over 200 yrs) and then by some escaped big cat. It wasn't untill witnesses chased away the deer from the remains that people became suspisious of the deer. I have seen deer kill and eat snakes, and raid turkey nests in the spring. They are not so much interested in the chicks or the meat of the animals but the calcium contained in the eggshells and in the bones, they will also knaw on sheds.
