This big fella is a fish found at the local aquarium and he is a carnivore because his diet is only based off of other meaty fish.
Unlike herbivores, carnivores are very different forms of creatures that live off of a very meaty diet. Carnivores such as sharks and lions are known for their sharp teeth that they often use to rip apart the flesh of their prey. Carnivores live off of the nutrients they gain by eating herbivores or sometimes even smaller forms of carnivores and omnivores. By doing so, the nutrients that the other animal once held in its own body is absorbed into the body of the carnivore predator allowing it survive by commonly eating other animals.
