Calves can be killed and eaten by wolves, feral pigs, cougars, coyotes, bobcats, vultures, pythons, alligators, and bears--at least in North America. In other parts of the world, calves will often be taken by (in Africa) leopards, lions, hyenas, wild dogs, crocodiles, and snakes like the African rock python. In Asia, tigers and leopards are the top predators to take livestock like calves. Australia sees dingoes and wild pigs being the biggest threats to newborn calves. South America has the jaguar, anaconda, python, and caiman as potential threats to young calves.
Humans also eat calves in the form of veal. Veal primarily comes from dairy bull calves raised and finished to 3 or 4 months of age.
