Animals are living organisms that typically have specialized sense organs and nervous systems and are able to respond rapidly to stimuli (Animal, n.d.). Animals typically move, in one way or another, to feed on other living organisms (Animal, n.d.). Generally, animals can be classified based on the type of food they eat, that is; carnivores, herbivores and omnivores (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix 1). The first type of animal according to the diet is a carnivore. Carnivore diets typically span the range of prey species they are capable of killing and tend to be nested within each other (Justina, Kent, Robert, & Joel, 2005). Carnivore is an animal that obtains food by killing and eating other animals, also called carnivore (Carnivore, n.d.). Carnivores live in virtually every habitat on earth, such as short grasslands, sparse forests, desert, dense tropical forest, ocean waters, and the Arctic ice cap (David & Roland, 2005). Carnivores are divided into two groups: terrestrial carnivores and aquatic carnivores. The nine earthly families; Canidae, Felidae, Ursidea, Procyonidae, Mustelidae, Mephitidae, Herpestidae, Viverridae and Hyaenidae and three aquatic families; Otariidae, Phocidae and Odobenidae (Carnivora, n.d.). Terrestrial carnivores walk on the soles of their feet and on their heels or toes. Dogs, wolves, bears, raccoons, and civet cats are examples of terrestrial carnivores. A combination of strong bones in the feet and flexible wrists allows these animals to climb, run, jump, and outrun prey. On the other hand, aquatic carnivores including eared seals, true seals, and walruses have a torpedo-shaped body that allows for easy movement through the water.
