How do wild cats and other carnivores get fiber and carbohydrates from their diet?


wild cats say lions, eat just meat since meat is just protien where do they get carbohydrates and fiber from? arent carbs the stuff that gives energy?? and arent greens required for roughage?

Their bodies are different than humans. They do get some from the meats they eat, but they don't need as much as we do.

They get it from the food their prey has recently eaten.

They actually will eat plant material in addition to the meat. But, they eat more meat than plants.

The animals they eat have already eaten carbohydrates and fiber.

I've seen my cats eat grass and barley sprouts

In abscense of carbo...protein can be used as fuel...including your own muscles
