Wolves chased the moose, unzipped its belly, the guts fell out and the moose ran on and on, streaming its guts out the wound, then fell and was eaten. USDA here has clear evidence this is a very common means by which cattle are killed, and coyotes will do similarly to sheep, tho sheep seem to be killed outright, or at least quite quickly by wolves. Fawns are eaten alive, deer, ditto.
What you have described is typical pack animal behavior, but (1) how many humans would "run on and on, streaming its guts out the wound"? and (2) how does this apply to large carnivores like bears, lions and tigers, who can kill or incapicitate instantly and effectively?
My experience with carnivores is that they don't start at the toes and eat up, but, as you say, go for the "soft underbelly" and the guts. How does this apply to the case in point?
