A carnivore is a species biologically designed to survive and thrive on raw animal protein. This design is visible throughout the body.
Teeth are sharp and pointed, not flat. Jaws move only up and down, not side to side. Saliva does not contain enzymes to begin carbohydrate digestion. The stomach is highly acidic. The digestive tract is short and efficient.
These traits support one primary function. Consuming, breaking down, and eliminating animal protein quickly and efficiently. Carnivores do not grind food. They tear, swallow, and digest. Plant matter does not contribute meaningfully to this system.
