	Your source is horribly inaccurate. Killer whale, sperm whale, etc? And pandas eat almost entirely bamboo, they are either herbivores or omnivores.

	This list is complete garbage. Do your homework.

	I have to agree - pandas choose to be vegetarian, there is no indication about the list only contains mammals that are still alive as opposed to animals like the T-rex and Great White shark.

	Actually, the list isn't garbage as it might look at first. “Carnivore” can mean either “animal with primarily meat-based diet”, or “member of the order Carnivora”. This list seems to be using the second sense, and as far as I can tell on a quick google around, seems pretty plausibly accurate for that. Maybe changing the title to “Largest Carnivorans” (a less ambiguous term for animals in the order Carnivora) and adding a note in the quiz directions explaining the difference would clear up the confusion a bit.

	p.s. there is one specific mistake, though: the sea lion should be Steller, not Stellar.

	awful, this is just a list of some animals you knew. whales would make up the entire list

	Actually, this person is referring to the order Carnivora (no italics necessary), as Pit_trout said. However, there are a few mistakes, so it only gets three globes. For example, I think there should be more pinnepeds (seals, etc.) on here. Also, the tiger is one species, so no need for "Siberian." And please accept "brown bear" for "grizzly bear."
