Why can't carnivores form when herbivores have hooves and horns?
Hello, I will try to answer the question as much as I know. The horn acts as a defense rather than a hunting organ. The most important weapons of the hunted animals are mostly claws and teeth. These are used to catch prey and kill them in another way. The horn is not very advantageous for them, but it is a good weapon to defend itself and can make the prey look more terrible. Therefore, horns may be more developed in herbivorous animals. But not all carnivores are horned. Some lizard and dinosaur species (ceratosaurus, carnotaurus) have developed horns.
