Default It is called "pica" in animals... "Munchies" in people

As said, the creature lacks something and is trying to get it from somewhere else. Kids and animals eat "dirt" for this reason. Friend just washed his van and we went out shooting. When we returned the cows present had licked all over the van. Made the windshield a bit opaque. For people, sea food, ocean fish or Kelp, seaweed, in quantity, once or twice a week helps. Especially young, growing up people... Luck. Happy Trails.

Here in IOWA horses have been known to eat sun visors,padded dashes and seat upholstery. Don't leave your windows down.

Hey, how's Kenny doing?
Take the thing to a local tin shop, they'd be
happy to make a nice new top for it out of
galvanized. Didn't think of that when you were
here or would have shown you the roof on my
trailer Gary and I made.
Was making a new one for the old trailer when a
ladder kicked out from under me and broke L
elbow bone. Damn that hurt, sure thought I got all the
ribs.

Plowing hail out in this county is common. Colorado Gem Stone
is the Hail. State Farm Ins. used to have a beautiful picture of one.
"billion dollar CO. Gem Stone"

Glad you and Cathy had a good time out here. Do it again soon.

DITTO this for me. Along with pushed a big dent in my passenger door and completely rearranged a mirror on that same door. I think the reason the cows licked mine like they did was because of road salt. Could be wrong, but that's what I think attracted them to it.

Dad had a red Buick and tied a horse to the side of a ranchers house. Had a hoof print about 5" deep in the middle of the drivers door.

One time at the inlaws. FIL said: "let's butcher that steer with the long pointed horns." Sure, lets do it. Guess he got the message as he jumped the fence and ran up the road into the wheat field. We drove up in his brand new Chevy 4x4, hadn't had it two weeks yet. Cornered the steer and Bob was getting ready to pop him with a .22 and we'd just butcher him there since there was four of us. Steer rammed both horns thru the tin clear to his forehead and got stuck. One horn in the fender, the other in the door and broke the glass too. Bob shot him in the top of the head so when he fell, it pulled the metal way out of shape and down, we had lots of fun getting them out of the metal. Sawed one horn off and left it in the door. "Just let the body shop guys take care of that".

We were sure glad it was the truck and not one of us that got stuck like that.
Would have been serious.
