Well…

Entrails are actually the best part of a kill for a wolf. The organs contain the highest concentration of nutrients in the body. While humans would think to go after lean cuts, such as someone mentioned a steak, wolves generally look to the fattiest portions of the carcass such as the ribs. They don’t have to worry about watching carbs due to the fact that they are simply too active to ever get fat themselves.

And wolves eat everything except hooves and antlers! Yes, that means bones (calcium) and fur! The fur actually wraps around the bone fragments in the intestine to protect it from being pierced by the sharp fragments.

Now on the other hand, the first time that a human-werewolf opened a carcass, his or her super sensitive nose would probably lead them straight back to the dunkin donuts!

Lots of meat. The human would have more of a desire to eat meat, maybe raw meat. (Like in "American Werewolf in Paris")

Not cannibalism though. I think it'd be kind of stupid (and it'd add to the werewolves' "bad" name) if they killed a human than ate them. That's what vampires do.

Man, of all the times I could have chosen to catch up with this topic, why'd I pick the moment when I have hot dogs on the boil? :oops:

Well... I've caught up with all the discussion regarding carcasses and such, and all I have to say is this: being a werewolf must be harder than it looks. I don't know about you, but if another werewolf helped me bring down my first stag and he recommended the fur and entrails...

You know what we need? A werewolf barf emoticon! :wink:

When it comes to wolves eating, nothing goes to waste.
Actually I have dragged many a deer carcass to the wolf pens and from what I've observed their first instinct is to tear open the ribs and get to the livers and other internal organs first off. Hide, Hoofs, and antlers are secondary only to the bones ( including the skull ) which are broken up and devoured quite easily. There is usually nothing left save a few teeth, and usually the semi-digested plant matter that was in the intestinal tract. A lot of captive wolf centers either don't feed intestines ( because of parasites like tapeworm , roundworm, and hookworm ) or treat their wolves regularly for them.

As far as werewolf preferences , I don't why they would have trouble eating anything if they needed to, it would really be a matter of want. I've also fed wolves that loved watermelon, pumpkin, oranges and especially apples and tomatoes, others won't touch them and like they're nothing to them.

A human born werewolf might eat deer haunch or a rabbit, but would be more inclined to order pizza or at least cook his meat. A wolf born werewolf would probably shrink at human food but, might go for old carcasses or heh, the neighbor's cat..... :wink:

I don't think even a werewolf could stomach human, maybe he could kill and tear one apart but most humans have a stink that disturbs animals ( non-domestic of course ) and humans have more than enough chemicals and in some cases false parts that a werewolf would retch at the thought.

Hey it happens....one time I was just discussing bite pressure in wolves and how they could crack a bull moose's main thigh bone while it's running, then I sort of started on how fast it would be eaten.....how some would be taken back to the pups and be regurgitated and the conversation went down hill from there....for them anyway. :lol:

They'd probably be omnivorius, but... I know chocolate is bad for canines, but appearently onions are poisonous to them. Bad news for some people, considering the billions of places that contain onion. :|

Yeah, chocolate isn't good for canines, but it takes a lot to make one sick. An entire chocolate cake might make a dog sick, but it wouldn't kill one. Onions I don't know, I have fed canines garlic but never onions, the smell would prob. turn them off to it.

It most likely would. Humans can usually smell wherther or not thery'res onion, and that small of a quantity wouldn't do much, methinks.

This got me thinking. What is in the chocolate that makes them sick? The sugar? Milk? cocoa bean? I know there is other ingredients to chocolate.

Well sugar and cocoa beans are not part of a wolf's diet, however I have heard of some dog owners who give their animals coffee, while it's not advised it didn't seem to make them sick. Milk wouldn't have any effect except to give a wolf loose stools but it would have to be a great quantity say two gallons. I'm guessing it's the sugar, but animals do eat sugar, so it it is probably the quantity of sugar in the chocalate that does it, especially since it does take a lot of chocolate to make one sick. I would say that if any animal including people consumed a whole bag of pure sugar it would make them sick and animal with the body weight of most dogs it might kill them.

The "toxic chocolate" cause is due to a chemical present in chocolate - I forget the exact name of it - but the canine body-chemistry cannot process this chemical properly, and it can quickly build up, eventually poisoning the animal in a fashion not too dissimilar to alcohol poisoning in humans.

:howl:  :oo NOT THE CHOCOLATE DEBATE AGAIN!!!

*sigh* Okay, in regards to chocolate, onions etc... Keep in mind that a werewolf is only part wolf. A wolf might be intolerant in general, but a werewolf would only be intolerant to large ammounts, sort of the same way humans deal with nicotine and alcohol.

Naturally, it would do more in wolf form, but since the bodily chemistries are somewhat blended, it would most likely be something of a "too much at once is fatal" thing. :|

Alcohol? 2 ways the human body deals with alcohol. Passing out so you can't drink any more. And then there is....Image
