Examples of carnivores in a Sentence

  1. Samantha Leigh:

    We have always thought of sharks as strict carnivores, but the bonnethead is throwing a wrench into that idea by digesting a fair amount of the seagrass that they consume.

  2. Samantha Leigh:

    Given that bonnetheads have a digestive system that resembles that of closely-related species that we know to be strict carnivores, we need to re-think what it means to have a ‘carnivorous gut’.

  3. Michel Toulet:

    I've heard it said that we are creating carnivores, i'm sorry ; we have canine teeth for eating meat. Man is an omnivore.

  4. Mike Romano:

    The east coast of Yorkshire is known as the Dinosaur Coast for very good reasons, although these different types do not necessarily represent the same number of different dinosaurs, they do indicate a diverse ecosystem of animals including both carnivores and herbivores that roamed the Jurassic coastal plain and (river) complex some 160-175 million years ago. The prints also allow us to interpret their behaviour. Thus, we have records of walking, running and swimming dinosaurs.

  5. Anthony Friscia:

    We see that same pattern in the fossil record of terrestrial carnivores, for instance, you see a' cat-like' predator arise many different times before you get the modern radiation of cats. This kind of repeated evolution of similar ecologies is the basis of so many studies of how evolution works in the long term.
