Herbivores are pretty universally opportunistic carnivores. Check YouTube for examples if you want a jarring few minutes

Horses just slurping up chicks is so fucked to see.

extinct terror bird holding a horse in it's mouth, but the size difference is goofy it's holding the whole horse in it's beak meaning either the bird is like 5 times bigger than actual or the horse is only a foot long

Not that surprising. Many herbivores are opportunistic carnivores.

Yeah, I also feel like that's not a surprise to anybody that's had dogs.
