Özet: The feeding habits of big mammalian species generally divided into three categories: carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore. Omnivorous and carnivorous species include insects in their food diets as well. Insects, due to the high protein they have, are an alternative food and energy source for carnivorous and omnivorous mammal species in extreme weather conditions and food shortage and sometimes have the feature of being the only hope and a last resort to survive for these species. In this study, the importance of insectivorous food preferences in the diet of 10 different species of 5 large mammal families in Turkey is evaluated by looking at the fecal and stomach content analyzes made in various regions of the world.
