How could a predator differ from a carnivore?

Answer 1

The Venus Fly Trap plant captures flies through its predatory practice of snapping shut on the fly and not releasing it (but digesting it for its nutrients instead).

carnivore:consumer that only eats meat

predator:consumer hunting for prey (with neither predator nor prey having to be animal - as predators may be either animals or plants, and prey may also be either animals or plants).

Answer 2

A predator is an animal that hunts and kills other animals for food, while a carnivore is an animal that primarily eats meat. Not all carnivores are predators as some may scavenge or eat carrion, while predators actively hunt and kill their prey.

Answer 3

Some animals like baboons eat meat but eat fruit if there is a low amount of food.
