Carnivore refers to any animal that almost exclusively eats other animals. In everyday language, however, it refers to an animal that almost exclusively eats land dwelling vertebrates (mammals, lizards, amphibians, or birds). Animals that mostly eat insects are a type of carnivore called an insectivore, and animals that mostly eat fish are piscivores.
P.S. Gorillas and hippopotamuses are not carnivores. They are herbivores that occasionally eat some kind of meat (for gorillas it is eat ants and termites, and hippos occasionally scavenge).
