Cannibalism at domestic animals is not the norm, but rarity. Animals cannibals what animals eat like that

Cannibalism - eating by organisms (cannibals) of individuals. Currently it has been established that more than 1300 species of animals are somehow practicing cannibalism. These include insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and man. Cannibalism It is possible to consider as an example of intravidal predation, one of the manifestations of intraspecific competition, which is a factor in natural selection. Scientists note that most often intravidal predation is observed under adverse environments, overcoming the population and disadvantage of food and water.

Two types of cannibalism distinguish: active and passive. Active cannibals devour those whom they caught and killed themselves. Passive cannibals are limited by eating dead individuals of their own species. One species cannibalism has been developed among adult individuals, others eat their or someone's offspring.

In this way, cannibalism - This is a special form of nutritional organisms, which in many species of animals manifests itself as a normal method of producing food, i.e. Some organisms are powered by representatives of their species deliberately, just to be satisfied. For example, adult individuals of PyxicePhalus Adspersus frogs often arrange a feast of young individuals, however, frog and even the tadpoles themselves are not without sin - they also eat themselves like.

Animals under favorable medium conditions are not cannibals, however, in the event of a threat to existence, it becomes those. Mice and rats are prone to cannibalism when overcompretizing the population. It was noted that with an increase in the number of mice in the population due to the high birth of their birth, adults appear an inclination to devour the young.

Failure lack and sharply increased population provoke cannibalism among birds, adult birds eat others, and their chicks. This refers to the family of Voronene. Many seagulls also feed on the chicks of their neighbors. There are cases of decisions of female Sokolov Eleanora, they simply stole chicks from other people's nests and fought them with their chicks. Consequently, cannibalism, in some cases, there is an animal reaction to an explicit deficiency of food and habitat.

Many animals become cannibals at the time of the appearance of the offspring, i.e. With the appearance and birth of a young. So the females of the rattling snake of the crotalus polystictus appearance after the "birth" need rest and food, so most of the rats of the mother (about 70%) eats not only their stillborn offspring, but also quite healthy young. The cannibalism of the rattle snake allows them to restore forces, without resorting to the hunt, which is not only dangerous, but also takes away a lot of energy and time. Mom's mother's mothers often eat not only the last, but part of their young, which allows them to quench thirst and restore forces in severe childbirth. Stress arising from the large accumulation of people, excessive noise, malnutrition, frequent visitors, can scare the cat, and she, trying to protect the kittens, can simply eat them. So make many animals, entering newborns of a young during or after childbirth.

Maternal cannibalism It occurs in some scorpions, for example, at species from the genus Pandinus and Heterometrus. He is expressed in eating a female his cubs during the degeneration of the offspring, or when the larvae broke their back to her back and during toasting. Brospheric-young Mom-Scorpion scorpioned on their backs, methodically removes his cudals of the young from his back and eats them for several hours.
It has been established that adult individuals of many kinds of amphibians eat their young individuals. It is noted that about 20% of the pike diet make up smaller individuals of its own type. Ordinary river perch and other predatory fish, as well as omnivorous fish simply do not distinguish young individuals of their kind (and even their own descendants) from other prey and if possible, they eat them.

There are cases embryonic canibalismWhen parents eat their own embryos or embryos of other individuals of their own species. So the males of the bobbies (pomatoschistus minutus) (Pomatoschistus minutus), with increased danger, partially either completely eaten their own caviar. The male of American salamandra guards the masonry of the female eggs, while drinking part of the masonry.

Many animals have eating a young friend. So in day predatory birds and owls there is the most pronounced interchange, and when food is lacking larger and older chicks can not only kill, but even eat younger. For example, the puppies of Hyien canibalism laid genetically. Already from birth they start fighting. Young, who is stronger, kills weak and eats it. Similarly, the young shark, which was born first. He attacks his who just appeared on the light of the brothers, and devours them. And the larvae of God's cow pronounced cannibals, they usually eat each other in the mass. The larvae of riders (GALESUS) eat other larvae of their kind inside the body of the owner, as only one individual can feed in it. The larvae-xylophages of many older beetles eat the larvae of their own species, but more younger ages.

In animals and birds, cannibalism is a natural reaction to the acute shortage of food and the excessive population of the habitat. Cannibalism, as we have already found out, may be caused by various reasons: overpopulation, food deficiency, hazardous, struggle for the territory, etc. Thus, the meaning of cannibalism in animals is to combat the survival and maintaining a population at the required level.

Cannibalism is an absolute taboo for people. No one wants to talk about him, but there is a lot of enough in the history of mankind. The idea of \u200b\u200beating another person would make most people at least feel bad. And not surprising.

Cannibalism is perverted, disgusting and vague practice. However, as we will see soon, there are many exceptions from this rule, and some people were forced to resort to violence to survive. You think you will not get it when you hear about it? Here are 25 disturbing facts about cannibalism.

25. People and their ancestors regularly practiced cannibalism

Perhaps it is difficult to digest, but thousands of years ago, people and their ancestors regularly practiced cannibalism. For example, Homo Antecessor representatives used themselves like in food, even if there were full of wildlife representatives. They conducted a feast of cannibals, in the menu of which their rivals were. When people and Neanderthals simultaneously wandered around the ground, they diversified their menu, joining each other.

24. People are not very nutritious

Although our early ancestors fed each other, a man did not imagine much value. The Dead Mammont The Neanderthal village could eat during the month, while the person had enough for a full lunch. In their calories, people could not compete with other power sources.

23. Endocannibalism is only one of the many forms of cannibalism

Endocannibalism is just one of the many forms of cannibalism. This is a ritual eating members of his family after their death. In the tribe of Food from Papua New Guinea, this ritual was transmitted from generation to generation. The ritual was very specific and included eating certain parts of the body with certain family members. For example, the sister was supposed to eat his brother's brain or the hands of his shurr.

22. Cannibalism is distributed in the animal world

Although for people cannibalism is taboo, it is widespread in the animal world. Spider female Black widow often, after mating, eat males. It is known that mother eating their children. Moreover, some children eat their mothers.

21. It is known that chimpanzees are cannibals

Chimpanzee is the closest to people to people, and it is known that in rare cases they kill and eat each other. In one case, a group of thirty chimpanzees rebelled, killed and ate her leader. Researchers believe that the conflict could arise due to sex.

20. Eating in the food of strangers is called exochannibalism

While endokannibalism is a rite eating a family member, exocinbalism implies murder and eating strangers. As a rule, exoccannibalism is not ritual, it is practiced in order to bring horror on the enemy, pick up his life force, or just eat. The Manmin's tribe in Papua New Guinea is known for its practice of exoccannibalism during the raids around the villages.

19. Japanese cannibals almost ate George Bush-senior

Another bright example of exoccannibalism is the case with George Bush-senior, who miraculously escaped to be killed and eaten by Japanese cannibals. During World War II, he was shot down during the bombing over Chichi Jima. Unlike his pilot colleagues, he catapulled from his plane away from the island and climbed into the rescue. The rest were killed and eaten during a feather arranged by Major Sueo Matoba.

18. Taste a man reminds pork

The only way to learn the taste of human flesh is to ask Cannibals. That is how some researchers have received. While the results were different because they said that a man was similar to beef, pork or veal, most, nevertheless, leaning towards pork. It becomes clear why on the Pacific island the human flesh is called a "long pig".

17. In the 19th century, Missionaries Methodists were killed and eaten by cannibals.

In 1878, four Missionary Methodist preached the Gospel in Papua New Guinea under the leadership of St. George Brown (George Brown). Then the leader of one of the local tribes, Taleli, gave an order to kill and eat missionaries because they were foreigners. In 2007, the tribe brought apologies for the ancestor.

16. The taste of human flesh depends on a number of factors

Although we know that, most likely, people are tastefully like pork, there are a number of other factors that should be considered. For example, the floor, age, part of the eaten body and the method of preparation can change the taste of human flesh.

15. Usually people will not have each other, if only it is not about survival


Photo: Wikipedia Commons.com

Nowadays, people do not eat other people, and it becomes disgusting even from one thought about it. However, there is one exception, and it is called "survival cannibalism". This is not taught, it is congenital. When a person becomes brutally hungry, the survival instinct wakes up, forcing us to overcome moral barriers and do everything possible to survive. As a rule, this happens only as a last resort, when all other options were completely exhausted.

14. The plane crash that happened in 1972 in Andes led to the cannibalism of survival

In 1972, the Uruguay flight 571 crashed in cold Andes. After a few weeks spent in this trap, the survivors had to do not be done: eat your friends who died, or die themselves. They decided to eat their friends. After 72 days, the survivors were saved.

13. In the early European culture, therapeutic cannibalism was quite popular

In early European culture it was believed that the use of mummified bodies or parts of the body of a deceased person can help in cure from various diseases. Most of these beliefs persisted in the Middle Ages until the 18th century. This faith launched a kind of economic boom associated with the activities of the robbers, sang in the 11th century Egyptian mummies.

12. Cannibalism is addictive

Karen Hylen (Karen Hylen), the therapist from the center of Summit Malibu Treatment Center, states that cannibalism activates the cerebral pleasure center, resulting in a large number of dopamine. She compared it with what happens when someone uses cocaine. As soon as it happens, a person wants to continue, launching a cycle.

11. Donner's party was a tragic case of cannibalism

In 1846, a group of 90 emigrants left Springfield, Illinois, having departed to the West to California. When Jacob leaders (Jacob) and George Donner (George Donner) decided to spend their group on a new route to California, they were trapped in the mountains of Sierra Nevada. The results were catastrophic, since the group had to resort to the cannibalism of survival to survive the winter. California reached only half of the group. When this story was published, the Donner's Partner began to tie with cannibalism.

10. Cannibalism led to the appearance of a disease called "Kuru"

When the people of the Foreman's tribe in Papua-New Guinea ate their dead, they developed a strange new disease, later called "Kuru" or "Prion disease". Its symptoms were paralysis, uncontrolled laughter and the inability to control the functions of the body. Some called her "laughing death." The researchers found that the disease arises due to a twisted protein, which slowly creates holes in the human brain; You can get this protein only if you eat the deceased.

9. During hunger in colonial jamestun, they resorted to cannibalism

Life in early colonial America was harsh and cruel, and no one felt it better than the colonial jamestown in 1609 in the "hungry time." In the early records of this period, cannibalism was mentioned, but they were challenged. However, researchers found a new evidence: a skull of a 14-year-old teenager, who was killed and eaten.

8. Most people practice cannibalism

To some extent, most people practice soft forms of autocannibalism or eating their own body. This may include the use of crusts, dry skin or nails and, as a rule, this behavior is not something abnormal.

7. Some people come in autocannibalism too far

Autocannibalism can become perverted in practice, leading to serious damage to its own body. For example, one person who has developed a habit of biting her nails, began to bite his fingers. As a result, he lost her fingertips. Doctors tied out such behavior with severe diabetic neuropathy and social insulation.

6. Autocannibalism can be inherited

What is even worse, autocannibalism can be inherited. This is called "Lesch-Nihhen" syndrome (Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome) and occurs due to one defective gene on the X-chromosome. It is known that people with such syndrome chew their languages \u200b\u200band other parts of their body. Doctors are not sure why patients do it, but some of them suggested that this is due to the loss of motor control. If the patient is thinking about biting himself, he will do it, even if he does not want.

5. Europeans of the 17th century believed that the blood of the dead could heal them

Believing that blood can treat epilepsy, often during the execution of the Europeans of the 17th century built in line with cups in their hands to collect the blood of the deceased. The more cruel death was, the more valuable blood was considered.

4. Hunger in Ukraine during the reign of Joseph Stalin forced Ukrainians to resort to cannibalism

When Joseph Stalin was engaged in the reorganization of agriculture, hunger arose in Russia and Ukraine. Millions died, and many were resorted to cannibalism to survive.

3. The new in cannibalism is gaining increasing popularity - placentophagia

Thanks to various celebrities, promoting this practice, placentoFagi, or the practice of mothers who eaten their own placenta is becoming increasingly popular in our time. While lawyers argue that it benefits health, doctors came out with the opposite statement that there is no reason to talk about the like. They even went even further, stating that this practice could be dangerous for his mother and her child if the placenta was infected or amazed. Infection can get through breast milk and infect baby.

2. It is known that people with mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, became cannibals

Mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or psychopathy, which reduce the compassion and morality of a person, also caused cannibalism. In one particular case, the paranoid schizophrenic on the nickname "cannibal" described in detail about how he kills and prepares his victims before eating them. Instead of rejecting this part of his personality, he readily accepted it.

1. Cannibal Armin Maison wrote an announcement that he is looking for those who want to become his next dish

Armin Maison (Armin Meiwes) was a 42-year-old engineer-computer from Germany and part-time cannibal. He led a double life on the Internet, where he found the chats about cannibalism, whose members argued that they would like to be eaten. He met with many of them in the hotel rooms, but no one was eaten. Nevertheless, the victim and lover of Maison Bernd Brandes answered one of his ads, and Maves ultimately killed and ate him. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Follow the mother-in-law and wife? Rejoice that human cannibalism is out of law, because in the animal world everything is not so rosy, and females often eat their scans to their male in the literal sense of the word.

At the moment, scientists recorded in nature more than a thousand species of animal cannibalism. Some animals in our list can be a complete surprise for you.

1. Octopus

Yes, these pogs can have similar. More precisely, the female can devour the male after sexual intercourse. Here, some are to blame for themselves, if we chose a lady more than themselves. As they say, lovers of exotic risks more.

2. Akula

If the well-known facts about sharks do not cause surprise from words that one shark devoured another, then the study of the life of the sulfur shark can cause you quite terrible associations.

When the female of the sandy shark will be pregnant, it usually develops several young people in the womb, which, when they grow up, begin to eat their fellows that have not had time to hatch. Right in the abdomen of the mother.

3. Dzhungarian hamsters

These insidious and cruel animals are one of their appearance speak the world that are predators and cannibals. We exaggerate, of course, but some of the most popular home rodents are well developed by the skill of cannibalism. Moreover, this cannibalism is aimed at preserving offspring.

The fact is that hamster females often eat some of the newborns, because they cannot feed all the offspring immediately. For eating, they choose the weakest, or stillborn young.

4. Crocodiles

5. Female black widow

This spider is not only obstructed by the gloomy glory of one of the most poisonous on the planet, but also suffers from "sexual" cannibalism. The females of this species are much larger than the males, than it is not possible to use after mating, which spend a lot of strength and energy. They simply eat their partners who become useless after spider sex. This type of spiders received its name just because of this feature.

6. Meadow dogs

These cute rodents are exemplary evidence that you should not trust appearance. Unlike cruel hamsters, meadow dogs crouch not their offspring. Instead, they go to the holes of their neighbors to enjoy newborn young friends and colleagues.

7. White bears

White bears are not only among the largest mammals on the planet, but also one of the most cruel. Under bright animal wool hides a dark soul. If the polar bear will overtake hunger, he will not refuse to eat even his own bear. After this information, the impressions of the cartoon from childhood about the bear cleaner are slowly spoiled.

Nowadays, cases of bearish cannibalism are becoming increasingly. Scientists associate it with global warming, which entails a decrease in the number of food and melting of glaciers.

8. Roaring frogs

African digging frogs can have similar notes from some ideological considerations, but simply because too lazy to look for other sources of food. One such a frog can break into a flock of young and start a systematic absorb tadpoles and young individuals. No conscience and feeling shame.

9. Mantis

This is one of the most famous cannibals, however, the incidence of devouts of themselves as much as among the Bogomols is greatly overestimated. Yes, females of the Bogomolov often unload their heads with their beloved, but it happens only in one case out of six. Basically, only small males suffer.

Cannibalism (from Fr. Cannibale, Span. Canibal) in anthropology - eating human flesh people; In biology - eating animals (cannibals) of individuals.

The origin of the name: the name "Cannibala" happened from "Kaniba" - the name that the residents of the Bahamas of the inhabitants of Haiti, terrible cannibals called the Bahamas are called. Subsequently, the name "Cannibal" became an equivalent anthropophage, although, in Herrera, "CANIBAL" was actually "brave".

A special case of predatory is cannibalism - eating individuals of your species, most often than just. Cannibalism is often found at spiders (females are often eaten by males), in fish (eating fry). Mammal females are also sometimes eating their cubs.

Cannibalism is a form of intravidal relations, which consists in eating individuals of its kind. Cannibalism is one of the manifestations of intraspecific competition, which is a factor in natural selection.

More often is observed under adverse environmental conditions, when overcoming the population and disadvantage of food or drinking. So, in the harsh winters with the mass death of small mammals, fi and dr. Large predators sometimes eat each other; With a nonsense or other adverse conditions of females eat their cubs.

Cannibalism in animals is observed when exposed to various stress factors. They may relate to the overpowering of the population, adverse conditions of the external environment, lack of food and water. Cases occur when rodent cannibalism was triggered by such a stress factor as sharp sounds.

Beetles - flour Khushcheki (Tenebrio) at a high population density devour their eggs, thus restraining the growth in numbers. Views with a more pronounced tendency to cannibalism are better survived under adverse conditions. There are cases of permanent, or bond, cannibalism, which arose in the process of evolution as a useful device. So, females of the Karakurts and Bogomolov eating males after mating.

In the hungry winter, with the mass death of small mammals, wild animals - wolves of lynx and other predators sometimes eat each other. Beetles - flour crowns at high population density devour their eggs while holding back the growth in numbers. There are cases of permanent, or bonded cannibalism, which arose in the process of evolution as a useful device. So, females of the Karakurts and Bogomolov eating males after mating. Some researchers explain the cannibalism in the animals with a reduced level of serotonin in the blood. In a number of works devoted to the study of bird cannibalism, the reverse correlation of the division of chickens with a low level of serotonin was recorded. Polish scientists noted that the cannibalism is usually preceded by pterophagia, removing the fingers from chickens and an adult bird.

The New Scientist publication published results of the research of the Ashley Chin-Baarstad biologist from the University of Perdy, Indiana. She managed to explain exactly which factors contribute to the development of cannibalism among fish, on the example of sandy bulls.

During the experiment, male and female individuals of the bulls were placed in huge water reservoirs, the situation in which mimically imitated the natural environment of their habitat.

Chin-Baarstad notes that unnatural inclinations as a whole were not manifested in a calm state - Ikrins remain buried in the sand, and the males guard them. However, with the advent of a biological enemy, eating caviar, - brown shrimps - many bulls rapidly devour the reserves of their own offspring.

It is noteworthy that among small individuals, the likelihood of cannibalism was higher, - apparently, because they need calories, it assumes a researcher; However, less healthy individuals, on the contrary, more often "restrained" - obviously, by saving the eggs, they hope to attract other females.

Cannibalism in rodents

However, the eating itself is similar to the common animals in the world.

There is cannibalism for various reasons. The first of them: too many animals on a certain territory.

It is believed that there are absolutely all males in mice-like rodents. However, it is not. The males of white hamsters are drained from the nest of the young back, they are covered with them with the existing material, heat them no worse females.

The males of mice together with females build a nest, drag into it and their own, and, if there are, strangers, heat them with their body. Often they clean and lick the young, holding their paws.

Although the cannibalism among rodents is frequent, eat the young not so much males, how many female mother. Cannibalism can be partial: the female eats through certain intervals of one or more young, and the rest does not touch, continues to feed them, and they remain alive.

Cannibalism is most characteristic of those types of rodents who are born a lot of young: for golden hamsters and mice. The female begins to eat young in the first days after their birth and stops when they can eat food themselves.

Many animal lovers are convinced that the female eats the weakest, unwanted, young. However, this is not true. Right can be eaten and weak young, but often the strongest. No choice is actually absent.

Experiments were performed. Near the females of the golden hamster, who had nine her own cubs, put eleven mice of the same age, but they were less than her young. She immediately dragged them to her nest immediately, began to lick and feed, like their young. However, starting from the fifth day of the life of a young, she took them to eat, mice and hamster without any choice.

Another female of the golden hamster was offered two yellow foolers, which were three days. She immediately dragged them into the nest, where they lay her four young. For a few days, she ate two own children, and fed the cream until their eyes opened.

This type of cannibalism is observed when animals are born too many young when the broods follow each other and the mother's body is very depleted, lacks proteins and minerals. And if the females, nursing young, start giving milk, meat, spongy bones, cannibalism stops.

Another type of cannibalism: the female eats all the cubs. This is usually happening in the first hours or day after their appearance. Such cannibalism can be due to water disadvantage, females disease. In addition, stress factors play a major role in its occurrence.

If the animals live a boring, nursing mother often bother, in addition, animals can fight with each other. And in such a tense atmosphere, the case often ends with the fact that the female eats his young.

Cannibalism sometimes provoke sharp sounds. Often, the animal owner becomes the culprit of the death of the young man: he often looks into the nest, takes newborns in his hands.

To warn the cannibalism, the female of the golden hamster, when the pregnancy becomes obvious, sit down in a separate cage. In the last days of pregnancy, you need to handle the females of golden hamsters exclusively carefully, if possible, avoid sharp fluctuations in the room in the room, extraneous noise. Do not touch the hands of the cub born.

Cannibalism - eating animals of individuals of its kind. For more than 140 species of living beings, it is a characteristic manifestation.

Lions Detubitis

With his tendency to eat themselves similar among predators. The facts are known not only to the murder, but the devouring is lied by adult males. The cause of cannibalism in Lviv is not at all hunger or excess number of members of the population as, for example, rodents. Sad fate comprehends exclusively children of a lion rival. The offspring of the leader remains safe. In the overwhelming quantity, these cases are still a decision, and not cannibalism, because the lions devour the dead lion extremely rarely.

Lions - one of those who do not happen cannibalism.

The change of an old leader on the new, the heirs of the first ruthlessly destroyed. Also, decaying in the pride is caused by a long hatching, subsequent departure and education of kids. In this period of time, the lioness does not let the male degradation.

Dutubiism among primates

The murder of offspring is not exclusively a feature of the lion's kingdom. Representatives of primates, Gamadrils, after an attack on someone else's tribe with different individuals, first of all kill all males and babies in it, so that later to mate with captured females. But as in Lviv, in most cases, everything ends only with the murder of potential rivals.


Plasticized bavaans can also kill their own children, but according to scientists, only in those cases, if the male suspects that the birth is not from him. According to Darwin's theory, such aggressive behavior is a way to control the number of flocks.

Eating like a common phenomenon among some birds, as well as vertebrates and invertebrate predators, because they consider representatives of their own species as potential prey.


Corn-soldier: Cannibalism for these insects is a common phenomenon.

The origin of the name "Cannibalism" arose in the pre-Columbian era, the inhabitants of the Bahamas called the tribes of the canibus from the Island of Gaiti. The tradition of these tribes was eating the bodies of their killed or captive enemies.

There are two types of cannibalism - passive and active. Active cannibals eat those whom they killed themselves. Passive cannibals are satisfied with the corpses of their own species.

Cannibalism largely depends on the habitat if it is favorable, the devouring of his own tribesmen comes down. Conversely, flashes with increasing danger to existence.


Many rodents become bloodthirsty killers and quench their own offspring in cases of an invalid increase in the number of their family. Lack of food and sharply increased population provoke cannibalism among birds that are able to kill and eat not only their but also other people's chicks. First of all, this refers to the Family of Voronene. In flocks of penets and chas, the number of which exceeded the permissible, also flourishes the eating of chicks and eggs adjacent to them. Consequently, cannibalism, in some cases, is the reaction of animals to a clear deficiency of food and habitat.

Animals prisoners in an unsuitable small space for them are also capable of cannibalism. The case was recorded when the gangster killed the smallest view overnight and completely ate the large-type gangster located in one cell. Although, however, these animals and in a natural environment can eat their tribesman, while in stressful state. And some predators simply do not distinguish their own and strangers


Crickets are also cannibals.

Cannibalism is a specific form of nutrition, in which a certain program for the destruction of representatives of its own species is laid.

The female of the mantis begins to devour the male in the process of mating, because for its body during the period of toaling, it is necessary to have a huge amount of protein to develop future offspring.

Larvae pronounced cannibals in their essence. And uglyastics, incredibly fruit frogs of garlic, this instinct is laid genetically.


Plocked by Pavian, he is Gamadril. Among the representatives of this type of primates cannibalism also happens.

Cannibalism and aggressive, competitive behavior are inherent even young of various predatory representatives. For example, hyena puppies from birth compete among themselves, killing their brothers and sisters in the process of cruel struggle for survival. Young shark hatched in the womb first, kills and eats his younger brothers and sisters. Tigers and wolves are also prone to cannibalism.
