Carnivores

Carnivores are animals that primarily eat other animals for sustenance. They have specialized adaptations, such as sharp teeth, powerful jaws, and acute senses, to hunt, catch, and consume their prey effectively. Carnivores play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling prey populations and supporting healthy ecosystems. Examples include lions, wolves, and eagles. While some carnivores are obligate, relying solely on meat, others may occasionally eat plants or other food sources. Their diets and hunting strategies vary widely across species, but their primary characteristic is a diet centered on animal tissue.
