Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the definition of a carnivore. A carnivore is an organism that primarily consumes meat (animal tissue) as its main source of food.
Step 2: Analyze each option provided in the problem. Determine whether the organism described fits the definition of a carnivore based on its diet.
Step 3: Evaluate the first three options: A bear eating berries and honey, a cow grazing on grass, and a rabbit feeding on carrots and leafy greens. These diets consist of plants or non-meat items, which do not align with the definition of a carnivore.
Step 4: Examine the final option: A lion hunting and eating zebras in the savanna. This behavior involves consuming animal tissue, which matches the definition of a carnivore.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct example of a carnivore and its diet is the lion hunting and eating zebras, as it fits the biological definition of a carnivore.
