👉 Anthropophagism is a behavior in which animals feed on human beings. This behavior occurs when an animal eats humans or other members of their species, such as bears, wolves, and dogs. The primary motive for this behavior is to obtain food, but it can also be used for other purposes such as territorial defense or mating rituals. Some examples of anthropophagism include the consumption of fruit, leaves, and flowers by certain mammals like bats, birds, and reptiles.
