Rabbits and rodents often will do this (they aren't eating and swallowing it) but shredding it to make a nest for themselves.
Sometimes they do actually eat it. So long as it's plain paper or cardboard, that's fine.
Don't give your rabbit any glossy papers, or bleached paper, or lots of colours, etc. because these can be poisonous or indigestible. See the related link and questions below for details.
I picked up the dog after her bath and she ripped up the newspaper on the way home (never before). She ripped up newspaper on and off for the next few hours. I took her collar off and loosen it and all ripping stopped. Her collar was too tight now that her fur was all fluffy after her bath. Check the fit of the dog's collar.
Get that newspaper out of your rabbits cage! What is it in there for anyway? Newspaper ink is VERY TOXIC to rabbits, they are shredding it for one of two reasons, out of boredom or they are trying to build a nest with it. Try giving them a toy (after you remove the newspaper). A soda pop can with a pebble in it is a good one. Remove the tab and put the pebble in, then pull the pushed in open part out with pliers to seal (or nearly seal ) the lid again. They will roll it around their cage and toss it in the air. If they pounce on it and make sharp edges remove it and give them a new one. They seem to like red COKE cans.
rabbits explore with their mouths and as their teeth constantly grow they need to keep them worn down. Tearing up newspaper is easy for them to do, makes a sound, and in the wild would use this to line their beds and nests. For domesticated rabbits this can also be a stimulant for them as something to do as a bordome breaker. Argos catalogues are the best :D
because i do not want somebody to read the information written on paper that i dispose off. and sometimes i just do it for the fun of it and by force of habit.
These animals will nest at night. The animal may just want to be warmer. Do not use newspaper in the cage, the ink on the paper can be toxic.

Is it okay if your rabbit eats brown paper bags?

Is a toilet roll okay for a rabbit to eat?
The cardboard tube inside the toilet paper roll is perfectly fine for bunnies to eat. This makes a great toy! Bunnies like to chew on it, tear it up, and throw it around. You can stuff it with hay to encourage hay eating! Plain cardboard like this even adds fiber to your bunny's diet (only a bit, though: your bunny still needs to eat lots and lots and lots of hay to get enough fiber in her/his diet). Do not give your rabbit toilet paper to eat. It's heavily bleached, which is not safe to consume, no matter who you are (human or rabbit!). Also, toilet paper is so soft and processed that it has hardly any fiber in it - it could even lead to gut impaction, maybe. See the related link below for details about what kinds of paper products are good for rabbits, and what kinds aren't.

If a raccoon is scared will it tear up a tree?
Well, I'm assuming you mean "tear up a tree" as "quickly run/climb up a tree". If that is the case, then the Raccoon most certainly will. I have witnessed it myself and it is quite possible. But if you mean "tear" as "shred" then no. Unless the tree is about as tall as a rabbit.
What happens when putting a paper in a glass of water?

Why paper makes a sound when torn and it does not when wet?
Water softens the bonds between the fibres that make up the paper. When you tear dry paper you snap most of the fibres which makes the sound. When you tear wet paper many of the fibres slide apart without breaking. A few break but the wet fibres absorb the sound so it isn't transfered to the surounding air.
