Animals that are usually considered meat eaters, such as [[dog]]s and even lions, in reality consume a significant level of [[grain]] and [[fruit]]. Domestic dog meal is comprised largely of cereal, and coyotes are actually fond of fruit. There is a case of the lion that could not stomach even the smell of a bone, but was raised by humans on a diet of grain, eggs, and milk. [[Mosquito]]es are not all blood suckers either--the males survive on [[nectar]]. Furthermore, features that are commonly associated with carnivory are in many cases used for purposes other than killing. For example, [[reptile]]s with sharp teeth and [[bat]]s with fangs eat fruit. In at least one instance, an evolutionist has even presented the possibility that dinosaurs used their claws to open coconuts (although this was meant to mock creationists). | Animals that are usually considered meat eaters, such as [[dog]]s and even lions, in reality consume a significant level of [[grain]] and [[fruit]].
