In all the pictures I've seen and descriptions I've read fresh zebra guts appear very pale, almost whitish when fresh blood is no longer being pumped through them and has drained away by gravity. The flesh is also thin and translucent allowing the greenish contents to influence their color. The guts of a live equine appear very pink and blood-rich, as seen in images of colic surgery, but the color changes drastically after the animal is dead, as seen in images of equine necropsy. To the lionesses it is still "slimy, yet satisfying."Ka-Atis wrote:PreyKill wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l353lLOnCmU
Yuck... The 'meat' (if it stills deserves to be called that) is already turned into a greyish glibbery goo. those lions must have been really hungry and desperate indeed.
Thanks for infos. I'm impressed by your detailed knowledge on this.
Maybe the zebra meat appears older than it really is because of the unatural lighting conditions. Recordings in the dark often get a somewhat greenish hue.
But I'm still wondering what all that goo on the zebra is (which we see most clearly between 2:10 and 2:30). Decomposing meat / intestines? Zebra poo? Or just dirt from the ground?
Whatever it is, I just have a thing with meat - that is - when it's not red and bloody anymore - then, well it's not meat...
