My son's #biology book represents carnivores as a true subset of animalivores (which is a new word to me).

Which animals are animalivores but not carnivores?

@buherator probably those that eat very small animals like insects as that is not classified as meat. Also fish.

@floyd Plants that eat insects are called "carnivorus plants", and piscivores are a subcategory of carnivores according to Wikipedia:
