Carnivores

A carnivore is an animal that gets their food from killing and eating another animal. Since carnivores have to hunt down and kill other animals they require a large amount of calories. This means that they have to fuel more frequently. Carnivore comes from the latin word "meat eater".

Examples of carnivores:

• lion
• snake
• frog
• eagle
• spiders

(Depending on the pedigree you feed your dog they are carnivores. Mike Sagman, a writer for Dog Food Advisor announces "From DNA studies, we know dogs evolved directly from the timber wolf somewhere around 15,000 years ago.And wolves are clearly carnivores. By genetic pedigree, dogs demonstrate similar and noticeable carnivorous traits." http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/canine-nutrition/dogs-carnivores-omnivores)
