Yes, predators may eat rabid animals, but it is relatively uncommon. Rabies can alter an animal's behavior, making it more aggressive or disoriented, which may make it easier for predators to catch. However, consuming a rabid animal poses a risk to the predator, as the rabies virus can be transmitted through bites or saliva. Therefore, while it can happen, many predators may avoid eating visibly sick animals to reduce the risk of infection.
