Eat, Slay, Wear Blood Of
📸by @kritiwaliaphotography
Drenched in the sanguine fluid of her latest kill, this lioness wears the evidence of her brutal trade like a grisly badge of honor.
Per 100ml, just the blood obtained from a fresh kill contains 15-20g of hemoglobin, which translates to roughly 15-20g of protein, primarily amino acids for muscle repair and growth.
Blood is about 80-90% water, making it highly hydrating for a predator hunting in arid regions where water is scarce. This hydration, combined with nutrients like iron (about 0.5mg per 100ml), sodium, potassium, and traces of vitamin B12, can sustain a predator when prey is their only source of irrigation.
A liter of animal blood yields 80-100 kcal, offering quick energy. For predators, consuming blood from a fresh kill can be a lifeline, delivering critical hydration, protein and micronutrients to keep them going until they can quench themselves with a proper drink.
