Here's a breakdown of why:
* Anatomy: Wild cats have sharp claws and teeth adapted for tearing and consuming flesh. Their digestive systems are also designed to process meat efficiently.
* Diet: Wild cats hunt and kill animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish.
* Exceptions: While their primary diet consists of meat, some wild cats, like the snow leopard, may occasionally eat berries or vegetation for additional nutrients.
So, while they might nibble on a berry now and then, wild cats are considered carnivores at their core.
