What do you call an animal that eats meat?

Answer

Animals that eat just meat or mostly meat are called carnivores.

Some examples are: lions and other big cats; wolves, coyotes, jackals and foxes; eagles, hawks, other birds of prey and vultures; fish; whales and dolphins; and bears (though bears can be somewhat omnivorous, meaning they sometimes eat other things besides meat, depending on what type of bear).
