The 10 Greatest Instances of Animals Eating Each Other
doubleviking.com — We eat meat because we need protein and amino acids to survive, and although some foreign customs involve eating bugs or half-developed fetal eggs (for those of us who watch Bizarre Foods), we can generally accept that human beings are going to eat whatever we feel like eating. We also accept that the lower animals do the same, and that lions will

- Datasta, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3Wow... I had no idea Centipedes ate animals...

There's just as much protein in nuts as meat:
100g of peanuts has 25.87 grams of protein:

100g of beef has 26.06 grams of protein. (*but* with saturated fat, chloresteral, growth hormone, anti-biotics, etc.)

Also, don't be fooled into thinking only meat has "complete protein." (pistachio nuts, soy, & other plants do too:)

Scroll down to "amino acid score."- Zarokima, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6Meat tastes better.
- notmark, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2I don't know if you were watching the videos, but those animals would totally kill you if they were big enough. It's really not about eating protein, it's about stopping them before they turn on us.

- thebadkitty, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3I'd rather have my bacon and steak and die of heart problems than live 90 years on peanuts.
- holeymoley, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3be more forthcoming in your stats
100g of peanuts has 50g of fat of which 30g are saturated fats
100g of beef has 10g of fat of which 5g is saturated
I'd take beef as my protein source over peanuts based on that alone
- blackolive, on 04/08/2008, -4/+2And one more myth:
People think they need animal protein to be strong. Really Dennis Rodman - one of the strongest guys in NBA history - and Carl Lewis, who won nine gold medals in the olympics - were vegetarian.

- haberflux, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1Giant centipedes are the creepiest things.
This reminds me of the time I found a mouse in the frog I was dissecting in biology class. - Kondakarian, on 04/09/2008, -1/+1spiders are an abomination to God. completely unnatural. I'm sure that someday we'll find out that in the Garden of Eden, the devil wasn't a snake but rather a spider. A giant. hissing. spider.
- magoblygoo, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1there is actually a mechanism in our brain that sees spiders as almost alien and makes us fear them.
- mentallyinhell, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5***** the rest, centipedes are ***** creepy.
- iamronburgundy, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Yeah, at one point in the centipede video I had to pause it cause I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch the whole thing. Disgusting.
