Animals chew other animals raw.
They swallow many animals whole.
It is not possible for a human being to do this.
You must have heard about many animals which eat other animals completely. Many swallow others whole. But can a human do this? Or he can do so, but not doing so will be harmful for him. The answer to this question is interesting because it is not only related to man’s current habits but also to his evolution. And it is also interesting to know that when animals can chew other creatures raw then why would humans do so?
The answer to this question is easy. Animals chew other animals alive because their brains were not developed enough to use fire and cook food. But one thing that needs to be understood is that even though animals eat many other animals whole, it does not mean that it is healthy for them.
The truth is that animals are not able to eat raw meat without any problem. They also fall ill by eating raw meat of other animals and it also causes infection in them. This is the reason that when a human being eats the meat of an animal, it is not the meat of a carnivore. Not only is it difficult to raise non-vegetarian animals, it is also difficult to keep their food healthy.

Carnivorous animals also get sick from the infection and a good number of them also die from it. In such a situation, why do animals eat raw meat of other animals? This is because animals cannot use fire like humans. That’s why they still eat raw meat. But with time, humans made changes in their eating habits so that their food could become infection-free. Today man’s stomach has become such that if he eats other creatures raw like animals, he will face many problems and will not be able to digest them.
1.5 million years ago, not Homo sapiens, but Homo erectus learned to burn fire and also learned to use it. When they came out of the cave and started living in open areas, they found that they would need to store food. They slowly cooked the meat and observed that cooked meat was more delicious and easier to digest. Gradually, other food items also began to be cooked and humans became habituated to eating cooked food. The animals were left behind in this.
