A PhD student study focusing on the environmental impact of carcasses filmed a feral cat eating an entire kangaroo, to the surprise of the students holding the study.
"We've had this one [cat] come in and pretty much take out an entire 30-kilogram kangaroo, eating it all over a number of days," Ms Spencer said."Cats up there, if they come across a carcass it's a free meal," she said."There might be very little competition for that carcass. They did come in [to] a few other carcasses but, in general, in environments like this, what you'll see is the birds coming in to break down the carcasses.
The feral cat feedings were a notable anomaly in her research, which up to that point had showed that the local populace of wedge-tailed eagles were the ones responsible for the majority of the area's scavenging. "This drought is biting into their main food supply, which is rodents, small birds, and reptiles," Read said.
