I've always said something similar, but not about deep frying.

I've always said it's sticking weird things up your butt.

You never see a bear out in the woods find a live mouse, and decide to stick it up it's own ass. You just don't see it. Exactly 0 bears have stuck a living mouse up their own butt.

I can't say the same for humans.

I don't know about bears, but I wouldn't it put it past a bonobo...

Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.

I believe there was recently a discovery of chimps shoving grass up their butts so the tips hang out the end.

Elephants would probably try it but they can't reach, so they get a friend to help

I don't think even humans want to do that.

Technically we don't know what every bear has or hasn't done

100% incorrect

For most animals with claws or hooves it would be extremely hard to do that without hurting itself in the process

I think animals are wise enough to understand most things don’t have a flared base
