Sea stars preys are almost eclusively non vertebrate animals, hence dont fit to the definition you give for "hypercarnivore" a.sorel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.206.162.141 (talk) 12:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * In the references I can access, these terms (hyper-, meso- and hypocarnivore) are generally used for the Order Carnivora. The result is that many things don't make any sense (there are obviously more than 7 hypocarnivores if you include all animals) Hypercarnivore seems to have a bit of general usage, but I think the "70%" definition is restricted to that clade of mammals. If there isn't an expert in the subject, I'll clean up all three articles, starting with a general comment on the meaning, then moving to the specific meaning.

 * Most definitions of carnivores I have seen say that carnivores consume flesh, but the Wikipedia article says tissue. 71.251.46.57 (talk) 08:04, 6 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Non-vertebrate animals are still animals, and reptiles (including birds) and fish are also considered "flesh", not restricted to mammals. Editor abcdef (talk) 11:12, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

difference between obligate carnivore and hypercarnivore?
I don't think felids can be classified as a hypercarnivore if the term is defined as an animals whose diet is more than 70% meat and who consume other kinds of food to make up the remaining percentage; cats lack a cecum and other digestive traits than enable other animals to eat things besides meat. Cat diets are 100% meat (or at least, that's all they can digest). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.187.112.19 (talk) 20:33, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

And did I say snakes?
Some extant examples include crocodiles, alligators, snakes, owls, shrikes, eagles, felids, most wild canids, dolphins, orcae, snakes, spiders, scorpions, mantises, marlins, groupers, and most sharks.

Is there an implied order here? Swimming snakes and crawling snakes? Who loses? &mdash; MaxEnt 18:38, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Merger of articles
Suggest that "hypercarnivore/obligate carnivore" be made part of the article "carnivore" and conflicting definitions on hypercarnivore/obligate carnivore be resolved or provide reason for conflicting statements with references to source material. WriterCPA (talk) 07:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
