I don’t know. Many vegetarian animals are in fact opportunistic omnivores.

Yup, plenty of videos out there of horses eating chicks (baby chickens)

The most memorable 'nature' experience I've ever had involved a squirrel and a sparrow.

A squirrel was calmly and methodically foraging as squirrels tend to do. A sparrow landed nearby to do the same. They continued on their own for 10-20 seconds seemingly uninterested in each others presence until the squirrel ramped up from 0-100 instantly, viciously attacking the sparrow. I don't think the sparrow even had time to process what happened, there was no struggle from the sparrow.

A sparrow really has no chance against anything that wishes to do it violence if it can't see it coming

Reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park, where Grant tells the girl not to worry about the Brachiosaurus, since it's a herbivore

They eat meat but they do it rarely.

I suspect that if you just call them bison they won't have any beef with you.
