It's usually agreed that you need to eat to live and that living to eat might be a tad unhealthy. But look at these cute animals having a go at it! From the cute-yet-gruesome sight of bunnies eating strawberries (so that's how Monty Python got inspired) to everyone except otters enjoying watermelons, it's a zoological dinner extravaganza. We've made this list specifically for your enjoyment.
However, animal feeding is not as easy as it sounds. From the extremely nebulous rules on cats and lactose to the fact that dogs shouldn't eat chocolate, you would do good to Google any relevant information before feeding that squirrel your sriracha-laden macaroni salad.

Hamster Struggling With A Spaghetti Noodle
Speaking as a former eater of raw spaghetti [blush], you just have to be careful! (Gratuitous anecdote: I was once eating some quick cook spaghetti (with a hole down the middle) and tried drinking coffee through it. Too hard. I put the cup with the spaghetti on the floor and, when I went back to it, the spaghetti had flopped over and *siphoned* *all* the coffee onto the floor! D'oh!)
Although it looks cute. He could choke on that. It should be cooked first.

He Ate Everything He Could Reach
Probably not all he could eat. Just what was easiest to reach. Giraffes have tongues that can be up to 2 feet long, time to use that tongue!
Hope it's a safe plant. I imagine the zoo wouldn't allow anything harmful near these beautiful animals.

My Dog Looooooves Broccoli
Just have some super-strength air freshener around for the after-effects!
I hear you on the after effects, but I want to give your some important info re. air-fresheners: they are toxic to all living creatures. There are far safer alternatives.

Lol I think they're cute too. They totally destroy my tomato plants, but turn into beautiful moths.
It's a tomato hornworm. They take huge bites of tomatoes, and move on, quickly ruining your crop. If you're lucky enough to also have roadrunners in your area, they'll eat them up.
They are so cute if I find one I just want to hug it,but sadly I can’t cause I would kill him if a do

This Dog Really Loves Ice Cream
Did you really put ice-cream on his head to make "funny" picture?
Calling it "cruel" is a little much (not to mention, incorrect.) However, it is a little dumb and wasteful.
That's hilarious! Love pugs! He likes that on his head. He'll eat it next.

Fox Eating A Mushroom
Anyone else notice that bird sitting right next to where the fox is eating the mushroom? I would've expected the bird to take wing the minute he saw the fox, to avoid becoming the fox's preferred dinner (they aren't vegetarians, after all, so I'd expect he'd prefer some "feathery" protein over a wild mushroom).
