A carnivorous animal is one that primarily feeds on meat or other animals. Their diet consists mainly of live or dead prey, which they capture or hunt to obtain their food.
Carnivores have physical adaptations and hunting skills that allow them to capture and tear apart their prey.
Their digestive system is adapted to digest and obtain the necessary nutrients from meat. Examples of carnivorous animals include lions, wolves, tigers, and eagles. These animals occupy the top trophic level in the food chain and play an important role in ecosystem balance.
