“We are supposed to eat meat!”

Lions are the mighty King of the Carnivores.

Roaringly amazing creatures that pounce and

Opportunistic scavengers, if they come across a half eaten wildebeest, it’s “chow time.”

And they eat everything eyes, bones, bladder, colon and it’s contents 🤢.

They waste nothing.

How do they eat all of that?

They have Uricase enzyme that digests purines from animal protein. (Humans don’t have this enzyme)

And they also have liver enzymes (like transaminases and urea cycle enzymes) which processes proteins at high and constant rate.

Lions also have short intestinal tracts so they can pass animal proteins before they start to ferment (becoming carcinogenic).

Please don’t eat like a lion eat like the human.
