A carnivore is an organism that feeds primarily (or in some cases just exclusively) off of flesh. A cat or any feline is an example of a carnivore because they mainly eat meat. Even though this picture is of a domesticated cat and is fed cat food, it is still considered a carnivorous animal because in the wild it would eat meat jut like its larger cousins like lions. Some plants can also be considered carnivorous, such as the Venus Flytrap.
