Carnivora is an order of mammals that includes all the animals that are primarily meat-eaters. This group includes cats, dogs, bears, weasels, hyenas, and seals. Carnivores have sharp claws and teeth for catching and eating prey. They also have powerful jaws for crushing bones and tearing flesh. Their eyes are adapted to see in low light conditions so they can hunt at night or in dimly lit areas. Carnivores typically have a strong sense of smell which helps them locate prey from long distances away. They also have a keen sense of hearing which helps them detect potential threats or food sources from far away. Carnivores play an important role in maintaining balance within ecosystems by controlling populations of other animals such as rodents, deer, and rabbits.
