Hypercarnivore

(重定向自Hypercarnivorous)
Lions are an example of a hypercarnivore

A hypercarnivore is an animal which has a diet that is more than 70% meat, with the balance consisting of non-animal foods such as fungi, fruits or other plant material. Some examples include felids, dolphins, eagles, snakes, marlin, and most sharks. Every species in the Felidae family, including the domesticated cat, is a hypercarnivore in its natural state. Some well-known hypercarnivorous invertebrates are octopodes and starfish. Additionally, this term is also used in paleobiology to describe taxa of animals which have an increased slicing component of their dentition relative to the grinding component. Hypercarnivores need not be apex predators. For example, salmon are exclusively carnivorous, yet they are prey at all stages of life for a variety of organisms.
