In December 2005, pictures (taken in 2003 [2]) of a potential new species of carnivoran, known in the press as the "cat-fox" were published.

Members of this order are called carnivorans, or colloquially carnivores, though the term more properly refers to any meat-eating organisms, and some carnivoran species are omnivores or herbivores.

Forager vulture bees often enter dead animals through the eye sockets, collecting flesh, which is consumed. Similar to how honeybees process nectar with the aim of eventual regurgitation and storage as honey, the flesh a forager vulture bee eats is, upon return to the hive, regurgitated into a storage pot, where it will be further processed by ...
