hybrid/scavenger sort of describes omnivore, doesn't it ?
hunter gatherer rather than true predator.
When I was a kid, Dad had greyhounds, and the home that we rented had grapevines...the greyhounds would stand up on hind legs to reach the bundles of grapes, then devour them...I'm quietly positive that they weren't mistaking them for roadkill.
I am also certain that they were eating them as a preference, as I had to clean up the "Barker's Nuts" from the back yard every Saturday.
