Hungry the Cow

The challenge is to identify what is going on in this picture, i.e. why is Hungry the Cow dining on a rabbit?

A further challenge is to identify the scientific reference for the picture.

And, yes, this is a real picture.

… the duck was too greasy?

The image of a cow eating a rabbit is from the cover of the scientific journal, “Agricultural Ecology” from the mid-late 1990’s or so. Turns out cattle will eat carrion, presumably to obtain the calcium in the bones. Yes, they eat small dead or dying (i.e., slow-moving) animals, bones and all.

Natural, but oh, if cows ever started hunting in packs, we are toast.
