Detailed explanation-1: -The true ‘bone eaters’ though are the lammergeiers (also known as bearded vultures). These vultures have behavioural and anatomical adaptations that allow a diet of up to 90 per cent bone.
Detailed explanation-2: -…on a bone. Bone-eating, known as “osteophagia, ” is more commonly observed in predators. Their stomachs and jaws are designed to deal with digesting meat and bone, and some of them-like hyenas-even eat prey whole. Herbivores, on the other hand, aren’t equipped to chew through bone.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rather than eating meat, they survive almost entirely by eating bones. Lammergeiers drop the bones from great heights to break them into smaller pieces, then chew them up to get at the marrow, the soft tissue inside the bones. Many insects are scavengers.
