You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
I plan to add unhealthy diet to the carnivorous diet part. -The Carnivores diet can be very unhealthy, the reasons are the diets increase LDL and heart disease risk. The diet may turn on cancer pathways, the diet is not always ketogenic, it also burdens the liver and kidneys, urinary tract infections can happen as well, the diet has gut health to it as well.

I plan to add where they mostly live in the Devonian land-predators section. - Carnivores are disturbed across the world, on all major land masses, except possibly Australia. Carnivores occupy just about every type of terrestrial habitat, and many aquatic habitats as well, from the tropics to the poles. They live in forests, deserts, mountains, grasslands, scrublands, tundra, and on open ice. Aquatic and semi-aquatic species live in freshwater rivers, lakes, and marshes, in marine coastal areas, and in the open ocean.

I plan to add different types in the mammal order section. - There 270 different species of Carnivores, they include twelve families that live on land, Canidae, Felidae, Bears, Procyonidae, Mustelidae, Mephitidae, Mongooses, Hyenas, Viverridae. There are three aquatic families, Otariidae, Phocidae and Odobenidae, these aquatic families are referred to as pinnipeds.

I plan to add teeth in the mammal order section. - Carnivores have different teeth compared to others and it makes sense since there diet is very different. A carnivore will use its teeth to kill a prey item before eating it. The sharp incisors and pointed canine teeth are perfectly designed for both incapacitating and eating a meal. A canine tooth can be easily identified, as it is the longer, pointed tooth located on either side of the incisors. The molars are fewer in number than other animals may have, mainly because so much of the work is done by the teeth in the front of the mouth. While the presence of canine teeth does not guarantee that an animal is a carnivore, it is an indicator that meat is some part of the diet.

I plan to have in the jaws carnivores have, I'm going to put it in the mammal order section. - Carnivores jaws are also different compared to others, they have the presence of three pairs of incisors in each jaw. In most Carnivores the last premolar of the upper jaw and first molar of the lower jaw are sharp and bladelike, and slide past each other like the blades of scissors when the animal chews. These modified molars are known as carnassial teeth. Molars farther back in the jaw are usually either missing or highly reduced. Both the carnassials and the enlarged canines are clearly visible, As you might expect, these features are adaptive for a carnivorous diet, to tear and cut meat; note that bears, which are almost all omnivorous, have re-evolved crushing molar teeth. Another carnivore feature is the jaw articulation, carnivores cannot move their jaws from side to side.

I plan to add in the different types of plants that are carnivores in the Mammal order section. - Plants are also carnivores and many different types like, Venus Flytrap, Purple Pitcher plant, Cobra Lily, Yellow Pitcher plant, Monkey cup, Butterwort, Alice Sundew and Large Floating Bladderwort, these plants are Carnivores by only eating small bugs and insects.

FINAL REVIEW QUESTIONS Is the title short and simple? - Yes Is the first sentence direct and useful? -Yes Is the lead section a clear summary? -Yes Did you write in your own words? -Yes, but my edits keep getting deleted Is the article clear to a non-expert? -Yes Does the article let the reader decide for themselves? -Yes Did you proofread your article? -No, I/We or You in the article Is your formatting consistent with the rest of Wikipedia? -Yes Are the pictures in your article shared on Wikimedia Commons? -I didn't put any pictures in, I tried to put one in and it got deleted as well. Is every claim cited to a reliable source? -Yes Did you make links between Wikipedia articles? -Yes, everything is direct. Did you thank people who helped you? -Yes, Thank you Professor Gersner Did you try searching for your topic online? -Yes, I researched multiple sources for my article

When I try to add these changes in, they get removed.
