Meat-eating animals, also known as carnivores, primarily consume other animals for their nutrition. They have adaptations such as sharp teeth and claws that help them catch and eat their prey. Examples of carnivores include lions, wolves, and eagles. Some carnivores are also scavengers, feeding on dead animals. This behavior helps recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. Carnivores play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their habitats by controlling the populations of other species, which can prevent overgrazing and promote biodiversity.
