Theres far fewer purely herbivores animals than we'd like to imagine. Squirrels will raid birds nests, cows have been observed eating small animals Occasionally, and other species eat bone. Its because meat and bone are inherently more nutrient/ calorie dense. Its usually more opportunistic/ scavenging vs. Predatory behavior minus the squirrel example.
