Detailed explanation-1: -Carnivores are animals that eat only meat. Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and meat. The size of an animal does not determine what it eats. Some of the biggest animals eat only plants, and very tiny animals can be carnivores.

Detailed explanation-2: -As its name implies, the carnivore diet means eating 100% animal foods. No fruits, vegetables, bread, grain, nuts, or seeds. All foods must be sourced from animals. Some people even take it so far as only using animal-based products on their skin!

Detailed explanation-3: -Carnivorous animals are meat-eaters. They feed on animal flesh by hunting their prey. For example, a large carnivore can prey on a deer, a medium-sized carnivore might prey on rodents, insects, frogs while a small-sized carnivore may feed on worms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Obligate carnivores – sometimes called “hypercarnivores” – are those with diets mostly, sometimes exclusively, composed of meat. Examples include cats (felids), pinnipeds, raptors (birds of prey), snakes, crocodilians, sharks and nearly all spiders.
