Carnivore

A carnivore fits into one of the three dietary categories that animals are classified into. A carnivore is the opposite of a herbivore. Carnivores eat other heterotrophs, or animals. Some examples of carnivores would be sharks, snakes, hawks and even spiders. In fact, the famous Tyrannosaurus-Rex was a carnivore himself. Most carnivores have adapted and evolved to having sharp teeth to rip apart their meat.
