| Carnivores live on the energy of
herbivores or other animals and they are facing other challenges. Meat is one
of the main protein and fat - compounds that has high energy and can be broken
down easily. Carnivores’ alimentary tract are shorter compared with herbivores,
this shows that they need less efforts at releasing energy and nutrition in
food. However, they cause other price, one of the most obvious is that they
need to catch and kill their preys. These all are quite high compared with
investment for herbivores of finding out their food. In addition, meals are not
so frequent, the whole season may pass if their main prey is not able for some
carnivores. |
