-Carnivores must rely on eating meat in order to survive.  In Beasts of Bermuda, there are two sources of meat in the game.  The first comes in the form of [[Carcass|carcasses]], which spawn any time a player or [[AI]] animal dies.  The second source of meat for carnivores comes in the form of [[Fish|fish]].  Most carnivores will have extreme difficulty fishing if they are not harboring the [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]] trait.  All piscivores are carnivores, and thus are capable of eating carcasses as well as fish.

 [[Size|Larger]] carnivores consume carcasses more swiftly than smaller ones, and thus a larger carnivore must generally eat larger prey than a tiny carnivore would need in order to survive.
