Could carnivores live if all plants became extinctWhy or Why not?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The survival of carnivores would be highly challenging if all plants became extinct. Without plants, there would be no primary producers, disrupting the entire food chain. Carnivores rely on herbivores as their prey, and without herbivores, carnivores would have limited food resources, leading to a reduced population and potential extinction.
