The primary diet of a carnivorous animal consists mainly of meat. These animals, known as carnivores, primarily hunt and consume other animals for nutrition. Their physical adaptations, such as sharp teeth, strong jaws, and keen senses, aid in hunting and capturing prey. Examples of carnivorous animals include lions, wolves, and eagles, each at the top of their respective food chains. They play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling prey populations and ensuring the health of ecosystems. Some carnivores may also occasionally consume plants, but meat remains their predominant food source.
