Detailed explanation-1: -On a carnivore diet, you can eat red meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. The diet excludes all produce, as well as grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Dairy is sometimes allowed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some carnivores, called obligate carnivores, depend only on meat for survival. Their bodies cannot digest plants properly. Plants do not provide enough nutrients for obligate carnivores.

Detailed explanation-3: -A mammal that eats only the meat from other animals is a carnivore. In the wild, a carnivore will hunt other animals for food. Carnivores usually have to eat a lot to give them the energy they need. Sometimes these animals have to spend most of their days hunting to make sure they get enough food.

Detailed explanation-4: -The carnivore diet excludes all plant foods; only foods derived from animals are consumed, including meat, fish, animal fats (e.g. lard, ghee) and (low lactose) dairy foods.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carnivores are animals that eat other animals. The word carnivore is derived from Latin and means “meat eater.” Wild cats, such as lions and tigers, are examples of vertebrate carnivores, as are snakes and sharks, while invertebrate carnivores include sea stars, spiders, and ladybugs.
