English term

flesh

Non-PRO English to Arabic Other Zoology Terminology
"carnivores are meat-eating animals, but the term is also used in a narrower way to mean mammals that specialize in eating flesh".

اللواحم هي حيوانات آكلة للحوم، لكن المصطلح يستخدم على نطاق أكثر تحديداً ليعني الثدييات التي تتخصص في أكل - لحم البشر أم اللحم الحي أم لحم الدواب لتمييزه عن لحم الطيور والأسماك؟

I think Randa El-Nomeir's answer is right. Next pages indicate that some mammals have no special liking for meat but eat birds, insects, eggs and other small animals.

Any time, Randa, any time.

quoting Hazem's words: "restriction to mammals who only eat meat", it makes sense now! thanks. (ps: funny note you put :)

thank you Mona, that was "loud thinking" trying to figure out the difference between meat and flesh in this particular definition to avoid using ��� and ���

اللحوم

My guess is that the use is narrowed by restriction to mammals who only eat meat, not by restricting the eaten matter. Meat remains intended. Would those mammals not eat poultry or fish if they lay a claw on it?
