At home here we have all form of rodents doing it. From mice to porcupines.
Plenty of carnivores eating the raw ones obviously.
It is obviously a concentrated source of minerals.

I have not seen pictures of Elephants actually gnawing on the bones, but moving them around and sorting/touching/playing with other Elephant bones.

1. Baboons really like meat, especially gazelle fawns.

2. Herbivores eat meat more than you may think. http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2010/12/20/carnivory-in-cows-and-deer/

From my shade tree observations, your words seem also to apply to some members of the human species who declare themselves to be Vegetarians.
