why don't carnivorous animals get food poisoning from eating raw meat that's been out in the sun?

Answer 1

The enzymes found in the stomach's of carnivores are designed to destroy the harmful bacteria found in the meat. Some carnivores, like the Komodo dragon, actually use the bacteria in the rancid meat they eat as a poison to kill the prey that they bite.

Answer 2

Silverbirch is partly right. The other half is that their stomach and intestinal acids are so potent that they kill EVERYTHING but themselves. Hyenas' stomach acids are so strong that they can digest whole bones-- that's like battery acid! I helped to rehabilitate a turkey vulture once at a wildlife rehab center, and this is what the vet told me. Something else to think about-- when vultures and condors are disturbed, they will vomit the rotting, partially digested meat as both a predator deterrent and as a means of getting off the ground quickly. When they've eaten their fill at a carcass, they're often so weigted down that they can't fly, so they literally have to sit back and digest their meal before going home. If they're startled they will vomit their meal back up to lighten the load... Really gross...

Answer 4

Because they evolved and now they become immune to the bacteria in the meat they eat and their stomach unlike ours have specialized digestive juices to digest what they eat.

Answer 5

I do know that the vulture's stomach acids are so strong that nothing living can survive it. When it dives into a rotten pile of entrails it gobbles them right up without a qualm.

Answer 6

Wow, I never thought of that! My guess would be they have special defenses i ntheir body ot protect against the diseases, or they have special enzymes to digest/degrade those diseases and germs and viruses.

Answer 7

They have resistance to the pathogens through constant exposure.
