A carnivore (or Secondary Consumer) meaning 'meat eater' is any animal with a diet consisting mainly of meat, whether it comes from animals living (predation) or dead (scavenging).
In a more general sense, animals are loosely considered carnivores if their feeding behaviour consists of preying on other animals rather than grazing on plants. Animals that must eat meat in order to thrive are referred to as obligate carnivores.
Plants that capture and digest insects are called carnivorous plants. Similarly fungi that capture microscopic animals are often called carnivorous fungi.
