All carnivores are predators. As meat-eaters, which is what "carnivore" means, they hunt and kill their prey for food. Which makes them predators. EX: All the jungle cats are predators, these include but are not limited to...lions, tigers, jaguars, pumas. Omnivoires are also predators when the are hungry for meat.
