Quick Answer

A carnivore mammal is a mammal that eats mostly other animals, though some also eat plants or other foods. The term can also refer to members of the order Carnivora.

The Full Story

In everyday use, carnivores are meat-eating mammals such as lions, wolves, and seals. In biology, Carnivora is also the name of an order that includes cats, dogs, bears, raccoons, and weasels, though not every member eats only meat. Some species in the order are omnivores or even mostly plant-eaters, such as giant pandas. This shows that diet and evolutionary classification are related but not identical.
