Walanyama
Wengi wao hula nyama hasa, na ndiyo msingi wa jina la kundi "carnivora" (walanyama). Kuna pia spishi kama rakuni na dubu kadhaa ambao hula chochote, yaani nyama pamoja na matunda, jozi, nafaka na majani kadhaa. Spishi chache zimekuwa walamani kama vile Panda ambao ni dubu wanaokula mianzi pekee.
