carnivore (plural carnivores)

   As juveniles the crocodiles are frequently predated by larger carnivores.

2. (zoology) A mammal belonging to the order Carnivora.

   Sinonim: carnivoran

   The panda and the panther are both carnivores.

3. (informal) A person who is not a vegetarian.

   Sinonims: meat-eater, meatarian, (often humorous) meatatarian, (now rare) kreophagist, nonvegetarian, (derogatory) bloodmouth

Usage notes

Not all meat-eaters (e.g. meat-eating birds and fish) belong to Carnivora, and not all Carnivora are meat-eaters (e.g. giant panda). To avoid the confusion, a new term carnivoran has been introduced to mean "belonging to Carnivora".
