How to use "Carnivore" in context?
Hunting, trapping, scavenging: these are all activities that are commonly associated with carnivores. But what does that actually mean for these animals?
Carnivores are animals that primarily eat meat. This means that they have sharp teeth and strong jaws that are specially adapted for breaking down and eating flesh.
Some carnivores, such as lions, tigers, and bears, are apex predators, meaning that they are the top of the food chain. They can capture and kill much larger prey than any other animal.
Other carnivores, such as opossums and foxes, are scavengers.
