You can also force a predator to hunt a herbivore that is close to it, even if the herb is not the usual food for the carnivore.
if you stay at max or enough high range and stun (or sleep) a herbivore, the carnivore that's near it will go prompt to eat it. You will not be aggroed as long as you stay enough far.
An easy way to test this is around Avendale, where you can find goaris, messabs and yubos sharing the place. Goaris attack only yubos and don't attack messabs, but stun a messab close to a goari and see
This behaviour doesn't work with kitins: a carnivore will never attack a stunned Kipee.
