Carnivore

Carnivore

A carnivore is an animal that only eats other animals in order to ensure its own survival. Carnivorous animals have a complex digestive system that has adapted to breaking large amounts of meat, and therefore do not need to feed as often as herbivorous and omnivorous animals. Lions, crocodiles and sharks are all good example of animals that are carnivores.
