CCC cultures - By Fri 2/28 - done, go vote!

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

Most carnivores eat a certain amount of non-animal food, some of which is usually in the form of the stomach contents of their prey. There are hypercarnivores who eat close to 100% meat, like most cats, but wolves, for example, have been known to raid melon patches in the summer. Coyotes, foxes, and skunks are generally considered carnivores, but only about 50–70% of their diet typically consists of meat.

Also consider that they leave nothing to waste, they eat every part of the animal without trace, even the bones (the ones that don't splitner easy and cause throat damage).

I see not many predator do this and leave carcasses that the scavengers eat.

Hyenas'll eat every part of a carcass if they get the chance, right down to chewing up the bones into powder. Drives archaeologists and paleontologists nuts in Africa, since they'll eat ancient bones if they run across them, too.

Mud is the fundamental substance in the Ggazzei worldview. And it's valuable farm land. Mud is awesome.

And I've put an apex predator in the desert too. Next time I do something like that, I'll make them desperate bone-munchers, like CatDoom said.

You could create a language with lots of words for mud!
It was about time I changed this.
